This lecture covers the analysis of musical instruments, focusing on pitch, frequency, harmonics, and timbre. Through a difficult temporal analysis, the instructor compares the notes played by a cello, a saxophone, and a violin. A Fourier analysis is then presented, highlighting the importance of harmonics in defining the sound of an instrument.
