It examines and evaluates the work of Hermann von Helmholtz, Max Planck, Shohé Tanaka, and Adriaan Fokker, leading physicists and physiologists who were committed to understanding crucial aesthetic components of the art of music, including the standardization of pitch and the implementation of various types of intonations. With a mixture of physics, physiology, and aesthetics, author Erwin Hiebert addresses throughout the book how just intonation came to intersect with the history of keyboard instruments and exert an influence on the development of Western music. He begins with the work of Hermann von Helmholtz, a leading nineteenth-century physicist and physiologist who not only made important contributions in vision, optics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics, but also helped advanced the field of music theory as well. The author traces the Helmholtzian trends of thought that become inherently more complex by reaching beyond the sciences to perform a bridge with aesthetics and the diverse ways in which the human mind interprets or is taught, in different cultures, to interpret and understand music. Next, the author explores the works of other key physicists and physiologists who were influenced by Helmholtz and added to his legacy. He examines Japanese music theory student Shohé Tanaka, who sought to design a harmonium that was not based on equal temperament but rather on just intonation. Dutch physicist Adriaan Daniel Fokker, who arranged for organs to be built based on 31-tones per octave, orchestrated concerts for these new instruments, and even attempted to compose microtonal music, or music whose tonality is based on intervals smaller than the typical twelve semitones of Western music. 410 0$aArchimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,$x1385-0180 ;$v39 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aHistory 606 $aAcoustics 606 $aMusic 606 $aAesthetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E11000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aAcoustics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21069 606 $aMusic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/417000 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aAcoustics. 615 0$aMusic. 615 14$aAesthetics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aAcoustics. 615 24$aMusic. 676 $a781.23 700 $aHiebert$b Erwin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483468603321 996 $aThe Helmholtz Legacy in Physiological Acoustics$92843686 997 $aUNINA
