The True Science of Music: Being a New Exposition of the Laws of Melody and Harmony - Cambridge Library Collection - Music
D. C. Hewitt
The physics of music has fascinated scholars since ancient times, from Pythagoras' concept of celestial harmony to Mersenne, Ohm and Helmholtz. Hewitt's work, first published in 1864, proposes his mathematical approach to determining the nature of musical intervals according to his 'Triune', or three-fold, system of calculation using his Ratiometer.
