Levarie and Levy's "Tone" online

The interesting book by Levarie and Levy "Tone: A study in musical
acoustics" is online:

http://www.win.net/~pelerin/music/tone/LLTC.html

Their other book, "Musical Morphology: A Discourse and a Dictionary" is also
excellent. Theres a recent reprint but its expensive: you can find copies of
the original 1983 edition for like $30.

I have a second hand copy of "Tone" and have read it (which is more than I can say for most of the music books I have). It is indeed an interesting approach, more from the Goethean scientific view of phenomenology. However, I found the explanations about scales rather conventional. But the discussion of architectural acoustics has some very interesting and (to me) novel material.
I wasn't aware of their other book. Do they still teach in Brooklyn?

Thanks, Dante!

I found one sentence in the "Preface" that could be altered
by one letter to make many JIers happy: just substitute
"retuning" for "returning". :)

> First, the study of acoustics demonstrates the advantages
> and virtues of returning to fundamentals.
