Zarlino has very exalted ideas of the qualifications requisite to a complete musician, and tells us, that it is necessary he should have a knowledge in Arithmetic for the calculation of musical proportions; of Geometry, to measure them; of the Monochord and Harpsichord, to try experiments and effects; that he should be able to Tune instruments, in order to accustom the ear to distinguish and judge of intervals; that he should Sing with truth and taste, and perfectly understand Counterpoint; that he should be a Grammarian, in order to write correctly, and set words with propriety; that he should read History, to know the progress of his art; be a master of Logic, to reason upon, and investigate the more abstruse parts of it; and of Rhetoric, to express his thoughts with precision; and further, that he would do well to add to these sciences some acquaintance with Natural Philosophy, and the Philosophy of Sound; that his ears being perfectly exercised and purified, may not be easily decieved.
