“Teaches us the art of forming concords, so as to compose delightful harmony, by a mathematical and proportional arrangement of acute, grave and mixed sounds. This art by a series of experiments, is reduced to a demonstrative science, with respect to tones and intervals of sound. It inquires into the nature of concords, discords, and enables us to find out the proportion between them by numbers.”
