It covers a great deal of info in 8 chapters with 17 tables and figures used. Includes Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index. The chapter titles are: 1: Metaphysical Correspondences 2: The Conflict of Musical Systems 3: The Measurement of Intervals and Harmonic Sounds 4: The Cycle of Fifths: The Musical Theory of the Chinese 5: Relations to a Tonic: The Modal Music of India 6: Confusion of the Systems: The Music of the Greeks 7: The Western Scale and Equal Temperament 8: The Scale of Sounds Total pages: xiii plus 172.
