Was sind Sounds?

Everyone knows what visible or tactile things are. But what are audible things? The sound source, the air vibration, or the sounds themselves? And what properties do these things have? In this fundamental work for sound studies and musicology, for the mapping of sounds, and sound fetishists, Rainer Bayreuther develops the individuality and properties of sounds in a clear ontological system. The work is illustrated with numerous case studies.
