Description

Explore how Joseph Sauveur fundamentally transformed the Western understanding of music, bridging mathematics and art in ways that shaped modern musical theory. This Springer publication examines the pivotal shift from the ancient Greek paradigm of music as a rational discipline to contemporary views of music as primarily an artistic endeavor. A contemporary of Newton and Leibniz, Sauveur's groundbreaking work at the Academie des sciences of Paris established the mathematical foundations of modern acoustics and music theory. This comprehensive scholarly work addresses a significant gap in music history by providing an in-depth analysis of Sauveur's life, contributions, and lasting influence on how educated societies came to understand and value music. Ideal for musicologists, historians of science, and anyone interested in the philosophical and mathematical underpinnings of Western music.

Key Features

Traces Joseph Sauveur's revolutionary contributions to music theory and acoustics during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Examines how Sauveur's mathematical approach declined the Greek paradigm of music as a purely rational enterprise.

Analyzes Sauveur's work within the context of his contemporaries Newton and Leibniz at the Academie des sciences.

Provides comprehensive scholarship addressing the historical gap in understanding Sauveur's complete life and scientific achievements.

Explores the philosophical transition from music as mathematics to music as art in European intellectual history.
