摘要:

"Few music lovers realize that the arrangement of notes on today's pianos was once regarded as a crime against God and nature, or that such legendary thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, da Vinci, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, and Rousseau played a role in the controversy. Indeed, from the time of the ancient Greeks through the eras of Renaissance scientists and Enlightenment philosophers, the relationship between the notes of the musical scale was seen as a key to the very nature of the universe. In this engaging and accessible account, Stuart Isacoff leads us through the battles over that scale, placing them in the context of quarrels in the worlds of art, philosophy, religion, politics, and science. The contentious adoption of the modern tuning system known as equal temperament called into question beliefs that had lasted nearly two millennia -- and also made possible the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, and all who followed."--Book jacket.
