ABSTRACT
MUSIC psychology is concerned primarily with how some sounds are recognized as music inside the human organism. Recognition and organization of sound is subjective and is usually referred to as psychoacoustics. Yet from a strictly physical perspective, music is based on measurable phenomena that occur outside the human organism. Although even a cursory understanding of music requires an integration of the two viewpoints, this chapter focuses more on how sound and music work from the physical perspectiveacoustics,MT5.1 as opposed to psychoacoustics (see Chapter 7).
