On the Interpretation of Greek Music (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from On the Interpretation of Greek MusicThis departure from the natural order must be connected with the fact that in the lettering for instruments, as well as here, the letters for these sixteen notes are distinguished only by an accent from the letters for the notes an octave lower down. And this all looks as though the sixteen highest notes were added at some later time.In the lettering for instruments the modifications are introduced in groups of three, the object being to associate each pair of supplementary notes with the original note to which they properly belonged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
