Cycles Per Second Sound Waves
739 wordsResonance and Sound Physics and Music Since sound is the medium of music, most of the physics of music is the physics of sound. It's important to remember that sound waves are compression waves.

Wallace Stevens Poetic Techniques
627 wordsOne poet whose work you can really appreciate is Wallace Stevens. Even though his poetry contains very complex and lyrical vocabulary and his work is symbolic in content, a reader can still find ways to really enjoy the poems. Stevens seems to be almost musical in his work. The poems I have read pay much attention to the sound and arrangement of words. On the other hand, I find Stevens work to be somewhat bizarre. It is a style of writing that will confuse the reader. The reader may not understa...
