The Physical Basis of Music, written by Alexander Wood in 1913, is a comprehensive exploration of the scientific principles underlying the creation and interpretation of music. The book delves into the physics of sound, examining the properties of waves and vibrations that give rise to musical tones. It also explores the anatomy and physiology of the human ear, explaining how we perceive and interpret different sounds.Wood covers a wide range of topics related to music, including the mechanics of instruments, the principles of harmony and melody, and the role of rhythm in musical composition. He discusses the historical development of musical theory and notation, and provides examples of how these concepts are applied in practice.Throughout the book, Wood emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical basis of music in order to appreciate and create it more fully. He argues that a deeper understanding of the science behind music can enhance our enjoyment of it, as well as our ability to perform and compose music ourselves.Overall, The Physical Basis of Music is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of music, from amateur musicians to professional musicologists. Its clear and accessible style makes it an excellent introduction to the subject, while its depth and breadth of coverage make it a useful reference for more advanced study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This 1954 biography was the result of many years' labour by its author, Alexander Wood. At the time of Dr Wood's death, he had completed the first ten chapters and left notes for the remaining two, which were finished by Frank Oldham. The volume traces the life of the famous English natural philosopher Thomas Young.
