[Review of the book The Vibrato. Studies in the Psychology of Music

Abstract

Reviews the book, The Vibrato. Studies in the Psychology of Music , edited by C. Seashore (1932). This is the first volume of a series that will be devoted to the psychology of music. The present number is a complete account of experimental investigations of the vibrato up to 1932. An important contribution is made to applied psychology of music by Wagner who describes a technique for developing a desirable vocal vibrato, and methods for correcting either an undesirable retarded or accelerated rate of vibrato. The vibrato is a valuable contribution to the new field of the psychology of music and it is hoped that this and other volumes will help to bridge the unfortunate gap between musicians and scientists to their mutual benefit and understanding.
