商品描述
How is music born? Is music made by humans or does it already exist and wait to be found? How do composers create (or find) music? Having these questions in mind the authors ask more questions: How can we share our feelings with other people when listening to music? Can these be visualized? Why did Helmholtz have a problem with the third? Why is precise tuning so important in European music and less so in other cultures? What are the differences among the continents? What makes dissonant tone intervals uncomfortable in many cases? What enables us to distinguish the music of Mozart from that of Beethoven? Why are we fascinated by birdsong? Why does some music survive, whereas other just disappears? And finally, along which lines will music develop in the future? Drawing upon physics and mathematics, the authors search for answers to these questions and attempt to unravel in some depth the enigmas of how our minds are affected by the perception of music.

音樂是如何誕生的？音樂是由人類創造的，還是已經存在並等待被發現？作曲家是如何創作（或「發現」）音樂的？懷著這些問題，作者提出了更多的問題：我們在聆聽音樂時，如何能與他人分享我們的感受？這些感受可以被視覺化嗎？赫爾姆霍茲為什麼對三度音程有問題？為什麼精確的調音在歐洲音樂中如此重要，而在其他文化中則不那麼重要？各大洲之間有什麼差異？在許多情況下，什麼使得不和諧的音程感到不舒服？什麼使我們能夠區分莫札特的音樂與貝多芬的音樂？為什麼我們對鳥鳴感到著迷？為什麼有些音樂能夠存活下來，而其他音樂卻消失了？最後，音樂未來將沿著什麼方向發展？作者借助物理學和數學，尋找這些問題的答案，並試圖深入解開我們的心智如何受到音樂感知影響的謎團。
作者簡介
Kinko Tsuji studied interdisciplinary science and obtained her doctoral degree at the University of Tokyo in 1976. As a researcher she worked at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and at the Max-Planck-Institutes in Munich and in Dortmund. From 1981 to 2018 she worked in the company Shimadzu Europa GmbH, developing applications for ultra high-speed cameras. Furthermore, she was active in the "Japan Business Council in Europe" in Brussels and served as a chairman of the planning committee. She edited "The Micro-World Observed by Ultra High-Speed Cameras" (Springer, 2018) and with Stefan C. Müller "Spirals and Vortices" (Springer, 2019). Her newest book is "Physics and Music" (Springer, 2021).
Stefan C. Müller is a physics professor at the University of Magdeburg, Germany. After obtaining his doctoral degree at the University of Göttingen in 1978, he spent 3 years of postdoctoral research in the USA, first at MIT and then at Stanford University in California. He was a researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute in Dortmund from 1982 to 1994, before transferring his research to Magdeburg. He was editor of "Complexity and Synergetics" (Springer, 2018) and, together with Kinko Tsuji, of "Spirals and Vortices" (Springer, 2019). The most recent book written by Kinko Tsuji and himself is "Physics and Music" (Springer, 2021).
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Kinko Tsuji 於 1976 年在東京大學獲得跨學科科學的博士學位。作為研究員，她曾在以色列的魏茨曼科學研究所以及德國慕尼黑和多特蒙德的馬克斯·普朗克研究所工作。從 1981 年到 2018 年，她在島津歐洲有限公司（Shimadzu Europa GmbH）工作，開發超高速攝影機的應用。此外，她還活躍於位於布魯塞爾的「日本商會在歐洲」，並擔任規劃委員會的主席。她編輯了《超高速攝影機觀察的微觀世界》（Springer, 2018）以及與 Stefan C. Müller 共同編輯的《螺旋與漩渦》（Springer, 2019）。她最新的著作是《物理與音樂》（Springer, 2021）。
Stefan C. Müller 是德國馬格德堡大學的物理學教授。在 1978 年於哥廷根大學獲得博士學位後，他在美國進行了 3 年的博士後研究，首先在麻省理工學院（MIT），然後在加州的史丹佛大學。他於 1982 年至 1994 年在多特蒙德的馬克斯·普朗克研究所擔任研究員，之後將研究轉移到馬格德堡。他是《複雜性與協同學》（Springer, 2018）的編輯，並與 Kinko Tsuji 共同編輯《螺旋與漩渦》（Springer, 2019）。Kinko Tsuji 和他最近合著的書是《物理與音樂》（Springer, 2021）。
