Alexander John Ellis Book order

    Alexander John Ellis was an English mathematician and philologist whose influence extended into musicology. He was known for his explorations into phonetics and musical pitch, and his annotated translation of Helmholtz's work was seminal in understanding the connection between speech and music. Ellis introduced the concept of 'cents' for musical intervals, which became highly influential in comparative musicology. His analysis of diverse tonal systems across European musical traditions demonstrated the complexity beyond singular physical laws.
