Il giorno 15 ottobre alle ore 16 presso l'aula 412, Isabella Masina (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) terra' un seminario dal titolo
The quest for the physical foundations of music
Abstract
Explaining the auditory perceptions of consonance and dissonance in music is a fascinating issue that challenged many generations of scientists over centuries. Even nowadays, it is a subject open to scientific discussion, the actual functioning of our hearing system being not fully understood. In this colloquium, I will discuss some recent advances about consonance and dissonance from the point of view of physics and its methodologies. This will also give the opportunity to address questions such as why there are 12 notes in an octave and why Equal Temperament is so successful.
