Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Al Bregman From: Gunter Kreutz <gunter.kreutz@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 24 May 2023 10:42:37 +0200--0000000000001da45c05fc6c7d87 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear all, as a student in Berlin, I ordered a copy of the "Auditory Scene Analysis" in the year of its first publication in 1990, and it did not leave the centre of my bookshelf since then. I consider myself a music person, not an auditory one. However, Al Bregman clearly cared a lot about music and saw much more in it than a mere domain of applied principles. His invitation to regard music as a source of auditory principles still prevails. I was fortunate to meet the author at a conference in Montreal years later just once, which nevertheless left a deep impression, despite the very brief acquaintance. Warm regards and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, Gunter Am Mi., 24.
