Acoustics and the Performance of MusicManual for Acousticians, Audio Engineers, Musicians, Architects and Musical Instrument Makers
Series: Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing
▶ Universally understandable representations of acoustic processes inmusical performances
▶ Broad representations of directional characteristics of musicalinstruments and the singing voice
▶ Interpretation of room acoustical conditions with recommendationsfor adjustments by musicians (e.g. seating arrangement andperformance technique)
▶ Representation of directional dependence of masking effectsoccurring at the ear of musicians while performing their owninstruments
Acoustics and the Performance of Music connects scientific understandings of acousticswith practical applications to musical performance. Of central importance are thetonal characteristics of musical instruments and the singing voice including detailedrepresentations of directional characteristics. Furthermore, room acoustical concernsrelated to concert halls and opera houses are considered. Based on this, suggestions aremade for musical performance. Included are seating arrangements within the orchestraand adaptations of performance techniques to the performance environment. In thepresentation we dispense with complicated mathematical connections and deliberatelyaim for conceptual explanations accessible to musicians, particularly for conductors. Thegraphical representations of the directional dependence of sound radiation by musicalinstruments and the singing voice are unique. Since the first edition was published in1978, this book has been completely revised and rewritten to include current research.This translation corresponds to the latest (fifth) German edition (2004), which has becomea standard reference work for audio engineers and scientists. Acoustics and the Performance of Music addresses issues that are of interest to acousticians,orchestra performers and conductors, audio engineers, architects. Researchers andstudents of musical acoustics will also find this text valuable.
