The 1989 CHRISTMAS LECTURES explore the basic science involved in our perception of music, starting with the ways in which musical instruments make the pressure changes. We shall investigate the factors that affect the quality of sound produced which stem both from the craftsmanship of the instrument maker and from the skill and artistry of the performer.
