JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post
I went searching in the 1896 issue of the Scientific American Supplement for early articles on Roentgen’s x-rays (discovered just months earlier) when–flipping through the pages–I came upon this very impressive part of a score. But what is more impressive is that it sets to music the sound of Niagara Falls–the music of the falls.
At least music is what Mr. Eugene Thayer heard when he listened to the falls, and apparently he heard what few others did.
