Galilei and Huygens: Music and science
Athanase Papadopoulos
Abstrak
Vincenzo Galilei and Constantijn Huygens were both humanists and eminent musicians, the former from the late Renaissance and the latter from the early Modern era. Their respective sons, Galileo and Christiaan, were scientists whose importance cannot be overestimated. My aim in this chapter is to set the scene for a parallel presentation of the legacy of the Galilei on the one hand, and the Huygens on the other. This will give us an opportunity to talk about mathematics, music and acoustics, but also about science in general, at this time of birth of the Modern era.
