He says (p. 294) — " When two musical tonea are sounded at the same time, their united sound is generally disturbed by the beats of the overtones, so that a greater or less part of the whole mass of sound is broken up into pulses of sound,... | |

When two musical tones are sounded at the same time, their united sound is generally disturbed by the beats of the upper partials, so that a greater or less part of the whole mass of sound is broken up into pulses of tone, and the joint effect is rough....
