Physical Effects of Music.


From Nature.
The influence Of music upon the respira-
ton. the heart and the capillary circula-
ton is the subject of a paper by NM. A.
Binet and J. Courtier. in the Revue Scien-
tifique' February 30. Experiments were
made upon a well-known musical composer,
and the Investigators endeavored to de-
termine effects produced by musical sound
alone, as distinct from those due to emo
lions aroused by pieces associated with
dramatic incidents or words. Isolated notes,
chords in unison and discords were first
tried. Both major chords struck In a lively
manner and discords quickened the respira-
ton, the latter moro especially. Minor
chords tended to reta-d respiration. When
whether grave or gay. produced Quickened
respiration and increased action of the
heart. The lively tunes produced the
greatest acceleration.
Where the sound was wholly uncom-
plicated by emotional ideas, as In single
notes or chords. the hearts action was ac-
CELEBRATED, but not in SO marked degree
as when a melody either grave or gay was
played. During operate pieces, or those
we'll known to the subject, the acceleratton
attained Its maximum. The influence of
music on the capillary circulation was
tested by a plethysmograph attached to the
right hand. The capillary tracing showed
that slight diminution of pulsation was
usually produced by musical sounds. the
effect being very small when sad melodies
were played, but well marked when lively
airs were played.
