Musical Acoustics of Auditoriums

The author proposes that, on account of the variation in the time between beats in music, more effective rendition of music could be accomplished by varying the time of reverberation of the auditorium or room in which the music is played. The relation between the tempo of the music and the time of reverberation is discussed, with particular reference to the overlapping of the reverberation from one bar of music to the succeeding bar. (Editor's note: The reader is cautioned to distinguish between the technical meanings of terms used in the paper and their meanings in musical parlance; the footnotes should be consulted for the musical acceptations.)
