Mathematics has been used for centuries to describe, analyse and create music. In this book, Leon Harkleroad explores the math-related aspects of music from its acoustical bases to compositional techniques to music criticism, touching on:
🎵 overtones, scales and tuning systems
🎵 the musical dice games attributed to Mozart and Haydn
🎵 the several-hundred-year-old style of bell-playing known as ringing the changes
🎵 the twelve-tone school of composition that strongly influenced music throughout the twentieth century
...and many other topics involving mathematical ideas from probability theory to Fourier series to group theory. He also relates some cautionary tales of misguided attempts to mix music and mathematics.
Both the mathematical and musical concepts are described in an elementary way, making the book accessible to general readers as well as to mathematicians and musicians of all levels. The book is accompanied by an audio CD of musical examples.
The author of the book, Leon Harkleroad gives frequent lectures on mathematics and music for the Mathematical Association of America and other groups. He has been published in many journals, and he has received the George Pólya Award from the MAA for one of his papers.

PREAMBLE for those who have already viewed/faved/commented my previous post with the same title
Dear friends, if you have already viewed/faved/commented my previous post with the same title, then you can skip this one. I have just changed the title clip of the video to test an hypothesis, i.e. that the old one, with its black background and few text, was discouraging the passerby rather to invite her to enjoy the video. I had simply not realised that the miniature of the video in Flickr would have been a black rectangle! Apparently, and regrettably, there is no way to substitute a video the same way one can substitute a photo, uploading an updated version of it and I did not want to erase your comments.
... And now for a new challenge. I have been posting photos from my first and third sunrise session an Milano Marittima - the rainy and the clean sky ones. As for the second session however, there are issues with the wind moving the clouds resulting in a noticeable shift of the clouds across my exposure bracketings. So I decided to give a try at one of the video I shot on that morning. I am an absolute inept at video processing - so many technicalities to learn in order to know what I am doing (and so little time for such a learning curve)... Moreover, I do not love video postprocessing because I feel that I do not have so much control on the image as I would want to - with photos I have almost complete control over every aspect of a RAW file, using masks of every kind, blending different exposures manually to enhance just every small portion of the frame I wish... Nothing of this I can do with video. Or I am able to do, which is virtually the same. Yet I decided to give it a try, and it has thrilled me, so I am posting the results of this new adventure. An integral part of this new challenge has been the choice to compose a music for the video by myself - yes, I was rather tentative about this at first, but I have made it, at last.
I hope that you enjoy this work of mine.
I have shot the video at 50 fps in order to get some decent slow motion. True to my Open Source workflow, I have processed the video with Kdenlive.I have doubled the original audio track using Audacity - while I loved the scene in slow motion, the resulting audio was just distorted; the solution to this issue was to copy and paste the whole original audio clip in order to double its length without stretching the (sound) waves to an unnatural sound.
I have used MuseScore to compose the music and to perform it.

2018-175 MuseScore: I used to use Sibelius for musical transcription but I couldn't justify its new monthly subscription model since I don't write music too often. Enter MuseScore. I have to admit its single-page tutorial is very accessible and gives you everything you need to be up and running within 30 minutes. It's also free! Awesome.
