Description: Systematic musicology is a highly interdisciplinary field, which it was ever since its ancient origins with philosophers like Pythagoras, Archytas of Tarrent or Aristoxenos. Here the connection between music, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, well-being, politics and other fields were discussed. Today the topics discussed range from musical acoustics and philosophy to musical applications in modern music production and distribution, next to many related topics. Still the aim of the discipline is to understand music, its production and perception, its cultural, historical and philosophical background in a systematic way. The 'Handbook of systematic musicology' is trying to reflect this interdisciplinary nature.
