    About this ebook

    As a lot of people we studied music at schools. Did someone catch enough to play? We can’t say yes on this question. Afterwards we learn to play using different books and manuals. These papers promised many good things but that was sort of suffering to learn to play. By trial and error we have figured out quite enough information which can eliminate this suffering. So we decided to write a book if we could read one we would not get through difficulties for many years long.
    In this book we tried to explain the origin and fundamental properties of music. We named this as anatomy of music because we tried to dive in the depth of it.
    We delivered music theory quite completely trying to eliminate confusive moments. Music theory aplications are made mostly for guitar. But after reading this book anyone will be able to play any musical instrument. Don’t beleave? Just read this book and you’ll persuade yourself in very short period of time.

      Tones and medieval music

      Why are there so many pitches and only few tones

      When did music start?

      All depends on what kind of sounds someone would call the music. We think the music started when someone understood that the two strings one of which is twice as much have the same voice (tone) if they are equally tensioned. To get new tones (voices} Pythagoras divided the difference of these two strings in 12 parts knowing that it gives 12 different voices. He could divide it in some other way for instance in 13 times. But the number 12 was magic at that time. So he did as he did and now we have European music. In some regions of China it is divided in 13th and they have Chinese music.

      Nowadays this is known (but not for all) that if sounds have frequencies which are in 2, 4, 8…. times more or less, all these sounds have the same voice or tone. Such strings sound as if they say the same.Later
