harmony Traité de l'harmonie réduite à ses principes naturels Jean-Philippe Rameau or analysis frequencies fr
This link between frequencies and harmony was discussed in Traité de l'harmonie réduite à ses principes naturels by Jean-Philippe Rameau, a French baroque composer and music theoretician. It rests on the analysis of harmonics (noted 2 to 15 in the following figure) of a fundamental Do (noted 1); the first harmonics and their octaves sound well together.
