About This Book

Le livre présente une histoire synthétique de la musique, commençant par des définitions des éléments fondamentaux — son, rythme, accent, harmonie, timbre — et expliquant les principes de tonalité et de rythme. Il décrit l'évolution des procédés musicaux et des systèmes de notation, la formation de l'harmonie et la distinction consonance/dissonance, et passe en revue les familles d'instruments (cordes, vents, percussion) et leurs modes de production sonore. Parallèlement, il insiste sur la double nature de la musique comme art du plaisir et moyen d'expression, et suit les transformations stylistiques qui ont renouvelé les pratiques et les goûts au fil du temps.
