Music Acoustics Music theory 16th century Renaissance Galilei, Vincenzo

Vincenzo Galilei (1520?-1590) - father of Galileo Galilei- was a music theorist and lutenist. In his treatises he advocated that music was primarily based on physical phenomena, namely sound, and dismissed the Pythagorean-Platonic musical tradition based on number and ratio.
