Music acoustics

the series of partials at whole-number multiples of a fundamental frequency, whose relations underlie timbre and theories of consonance.

In music acoustics, harmonic series refers to the series of partials at whole-number multiples of a fundamental frequency, whose relations underlie timbre and theories of consonance. This meaning comes from Helmholtz (1863) in Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen als physiologische Grundlage für die Theorie der Musik.[1]
