how music works - j powell (2010)





this cheerful little book clears up the mysterious pentatonic aeolian lydian myxolydian nomenclature for me and demystifies the different minor scales which years of abrsm training never did do. it also explains why ten violinists sound only as loud as two.

powell says he is explaining the science of music production but in fact gives me a delightful recap of music theory.
