Beating Time and Measuring Music in the Early Modern Era chronicles the interdependent theories of time and meter that prevailed in the fields of music and science between 1500 and 1830. It examines the dramatic shift in the conceptualization of time that took place during the eighteenth century, and explains the profound impact this had on the ways in which musicians understood meter, character, and tempo, as well as the ways in which this change forms the basis for the modern conception of time in music.
