學音樂理論唔會毀咗聽歌樂趣——反而會令你第一次真正聽懂音樂《好音樂的科學》

你覺得自己喜歡音樂，但總是不得其門而入嗎？
你小時候學過鋼琴、小提琴打擊樂器，但始終搞不清音樂噪音有什麼不同嗎？
 
你喜歡唱歌，很大聲而且五音不全，該怎麼把握旋律、節奏與音準呢……
就讓這本出自物理博士的作品，導你航向廣闊無邊的音樂海洋！
 
為什麼巴哈的C大調前奏曲，和齊柏林飛船的Stairway to Heaven那麼像？
聲音與噪音的差別究竟在哪裡？
 
絕大多數的人都不是音樂家，但絕大多數的人都喜歡聽音樂；什麼樣的音樂作品，會讓你想跳舞或哭泣？你會好奇音樂家的創作究竟是即興還是一場精心巧妙的策劃？
 
是什麼原因讓一個音符與其他聲響有所分別？如果能發出完美音準，你又該怎樣分辨出來？為什麼十把小提琴所能發出的音量，只有一把小提琴發聲時的兩倍？你手上的鮑勃．迪倫（Bob Dylan）專輯CD或黑膠版本的音質比較好？
 
約翰．包威爾，以他同時身為「物理學家」和「音樂家」的身分，揭示了鮮為人知的科學事實和迷人音樂的背後故事，解釋最基本的和絃、音程、音高和節奏，很容易讓大家理解，在《好音樂的科學》一書中為你詳細回答以上問題。
 
在這本有趣原創且對聲學深入詮釋的指南，為讀者開啟了一條明確、易被接受的愛樂捷徑，包威爾以令人愉快的科學和心理學，描述在音樂表面之下的各種秘密，並且讓讀者著迷不已，隨著熱烈討論和聲、音色、音階、和弦、響度以及音樂作品的背後意義，這將是每位愛樂者家中必備的一本書。
 
【好評推薦】
但雖然身為科學家，但包威爾在輸出這些材料時，仍然保持了足夠的幽默感，因此本書不致於讀來生澀乏味（例如我「分貝」發明於一間酒吧，在一個深夜裡，由醉酒電氣工程師組成的委員會，他們因為找不到舞伴，所以想對這個世界報復）充滿了各種旁徵博引、豐富多元的事實（當我們現在聽莫扎特的音樂時，我們其實聽到了他本來打算讓聽眾聽到的高上半音），這些資訊即使在夜半捧讀也很有趣。──〈出版人週刊〉
 
「通過閱讀包威爾的書，我們可以加強自己的音樂基礎，以及更加紮實的知識，從而能夠更好地欣賞它。」──阿曼達．馬克，紐約圖書雜誌
 
「任何熱愛音樂的讀者，如果不知道音樂其中的內在原因，只要往技術方面進行探索一定會找到結果。這是一次徹底的研究，偶而還會在陳舊的底漆上面，跳出新的啟示。」──詹姆斯．沃爾頓，旁觀者月刊
 
「音樂是怎樣的，以及為什麼是這樣的？這本書提供了一個非常詳實的討論......同時本書以清晰的邏輯呈現給讀者，即使是像我這樣的外行人都看得懂，但這本書並不迎合或過於簡化該議題。簡單地說，這是我在這個議題上面見過最好的書。」──格雷格．巴布雷克，西雅圖郵報特派員
 
「在科學論文和讓人哈哈大笑的評論之間，本書充分展現作曲家和物理學家的這種獨特混合的優勢。包威爾......塑造出一個有趣的利基，也就是用幽默來讓原本枯燥的聲學介紹變得有趣好讀。這裡面是人人都該收藏的音樂習題以及一些有用的背景，讀者可以同時從中獲得無限樂趣」──巴里．薩斯洛，圖書館雜誌
 
「作者......採用易於遵循的對話式語言，帶領讀者進入音樂學...這是驚人的，只要按照包威爾的解說，只要在幾個小時後，即使是音樂新手（像我一樣），都可以開始「讀」音樂。原來音樂是一種語言形式，以前作為外人的我們大多數人都以為它是古印度語一樣複雜難解」── 菲利普．曼寧，科技圖書新聞
