bc ? notes : The Galilei family included important musicians.
Galileo's father Vincenzio (a lutest, teacher and music theory) was a leading advocate for moving away from the Pythagorean scale, publishing a book when Galileo was 14 entitled "Dialogue of Ancient and Modern Music," that generated pushback from the traditionalists. So Galileo inherited a family history of publishing controversial books that advocated for new vs. traditional ideas.
