Open Courses @ MIT?

Now, tell me that's not the coolest thing you ever heard. The lecture notes, reading lists, and syllabi are posted for all kinds of courses. One of the texts is:

Helmholtz, H. L. F. On the Sensations of Tone. Translated by A. J. Ellis. New York, NY: Dover, 1954. ISBN: 9780486607535.

I recall reading that Wendy Carlos was a fan of this text as a young composer.
