"Pulse and Rhythm"

In the Popular Science Monthly for
September. Mary Hallock. pianiste and
writer on musical themes. advances
theory that has existed nebulously in
the minds of musical people for CEN
turies. AS long ago as the fourth cen
tury before Christ. man sought TO ex-
plain the rhythmic repetitions OF sound
in insect and animal life. and more than
once some daring investigator has tried
TO connect rhythm with the beat of the
pulse.
Miss Hallock has found by much
study and research that ali rhythmic
repetitIons OF sound follow closely the
beat OF the arterial life that produces
them; and high up In the scale Of
sounds. she has discovered that the
metronomic markings OF musical COM
positions are set almost without Yaria-
tions 10 a rhythm which IS contained in
the scope OF the human heart beat.

half beats per minute; exactly the rate
of the average normal healthy pulse.
From the beginning of the first volume
OF Beethoven's Sonatas. nineteen are set
10 a rhythm OF seventy-two to seventy
six beats TO the minute, and all the
rhythmic markings OF these sonAtas lie
between sixty and eighty beats min
