Intervals, Scales, Tones: And the Concert Pitch C = 128 Hz - Maria Renold

Descriere Intervals, Scales, Tones: And the Concert Pitch C = 128 Hz - Maria Renold

\n \nWhy is it that certain intervals, scales, and tones sound genuine, while others sound false? Is the modern person able to experience a qualitative difference in a tone's pitch? If so, what are the implications for modern concert pitch and how instruments of fixed tuning are tuned? \n \nRenold tackles these and many other questions and provides a wealth of scientific data. Her pioneering work is the result of a lifetime of research into the Classical Greek origin of Western music and the search for modern developments. She deepens our musical understanding by using Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science as a basis, and she elucidates many of his puzzling statements about music. \n \nThe results of her work include the following discoveries: \n \n- The octave has two sizes (a 'genuine' sounding octave is bigger than the perfect octave) \n- There are three sizes of perfect fifths \n- An underlying form principle for all scales can be found \n- Equal temperament is not the most satisfactory method of tuning a piano \n- She provides a basis for some of Steiner's statements, such as, C is always prime and C = 128 Hz = Sun. \n \nIntervals, Scales, Tones is a valuable resource for those who wish to understand the deeper, spiritual aspects of music.\n
