Die harmonischen Fragmente des Aristoxenus. [German]

By Aristoxène de Tarente

Die harmonischen Fragmente des Aristoxenus presents a foundational text in the history of music theory. This work, originally written by Aristoxenus of Tarentum, a student of Aristotle, explores the principles of harmonics and musical science in ancient Greece. Although only fragments of the complete work survive, they offer invaluable insights into Aristoxenus's approach to understanding music through empirical observation and mathematical analysis.

Aristoxenus's focus on perception and experience marked a departure from purely Pythagorean approaches, emphasizing the importance of auditory judgment in determining musical intervals and scales. This edition offers scholars and musicians access to these seminal fragments, allowing for a deeper understanding of ancient Greek musical thought and its lasting influence on Western music theory.
