This book is the second in my music signal processing series, after [84]. The books can be loosely summarized by the following ``design goals'':

Figure 1: Schematic of interdependencies in the music signal processing book series, along with some closely related topics.

Figure 1 illustrates the dependencies. A solid line indicates a strong dependence, while a dotted line indicates a weaker (optional) dependence. The student is expected to pick up elementary physics [33] and programming skills [82,15] elsewhere. In all books, the main chapters contain approximately what is covered in class, while the appendices provide both elementary background material and additional advanced topics.
