  Article:   A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NOTIONS ”CONSONANCE” AND “DISSONANCE”.

Authors:  LUCIA CRISTINA MĂNIUŢ.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  From a historical point of view, the phenomenon called consonance/dissonance has been perceived under three main trends: the first one – mathematical; the second one – acoustical and psychological and the third one – contextual. My research is based on Plato’s thought that consonants are produced by planets as well, in their movement on the orbits, a thought that is to be found in the sxteenth century as well in Zarlino’s Instituzioni harmoniche.

Keywords: consonance, dissonance, historical, mathematical, acoustical, psychological, contextual.
