Music, Experiment and Mathematics in England, 1653–1705
This book constitutes an overarching history of quantitative music theory in the seventeenth century, focusing namely on the applications of mathematical and mechanical methods of understanding to music produced in England between 1653 and 1705. It begins with the responses to Descartes's 1650 Compendium musicæ, and ends with the Philosophical Transactions' account of the appearance of Thomas Salmon at the Royal Society in 1705. The book's conclusions have wide significance for early modern theories of knowledge and sensation and provides a fascinating side light onto the world of the scientific revolution.
