Description

The purpose of this book is to provide a concise introduction to the mathematical theory of music, opening each chapter to the most recent research.

Despite the complexity of some sections, the book can be read by a large audience.

Many examples illustrate the concepts introduced. The book is divided into 9 chapters.In the first chapter, we tackle the question of the classification of chords and scales.

Chapter 2 is a mathematical presentation of David Lewin's Generalized Interval Systems.

Chapter 3 offers a new theory of diatonicity in equal-tempered universes.

Chapter 4 presents the Neo-Riemannian theories based on the work of David Lewin, Richard Cohn and Henry Klumpenhouwer.

Chapter 5 is devoted to the application of word combinatorics to music.

Chapter 6 studies the rhythmic canons and the tessellation of the line.

Chapter 7 is devoted to serial knots. Chapter 8 presents combinatorial designs and their applications to music.

The last chapter, chapter 9, is dedicated to the study of tuning systems.
