Professor of Physics from The University of Sydney, the late Ian Johnston continues his exploration of links between music and physics. Today Ian traces developments during the nineteenth century as western music moved from classicism to romanticism, and as our knowledge of physics progressed in electricity, electromagnetism and the wave motion of sound. We also began to understand how the ear and brain work together allowing us to perceive and appreciate music
