Brill's New Pauly: "Aristoxenus, Musician, Musical theoretician, philosopher, biographer, from Tarentum,
Of allegedly 453 books, extant are: 1) three uncoordinated books under the title of Ἁρμονικὰ στοιχεῖα (Elementa harmonica), incomplete (perhaps: I
II + III, conclusion
missing), 2) excerpts from Ῥυθμικὰ στοιχεῖα (Elementa rhythmica), 3) fragments from lost writings, e.g. on Pythagoras, Pythagorean sayings, Pythagorean lifestyle,
legislation, education, Archytas, Socrates, Plato, sympotika, Μουσική, melopoiia, auloi and the way the holes are drilled, aulos players, choruses, tragic dance,
tragic poets and the dithyramb poet Telestes. A., who did not carry on the philosophical work of Aristotle, taught a musical harmony independent of the harmony of
the Pythagoreans and not derived from instruments, but based on the judgement of the ear..." from Zaminer, Frieder (Berlin)
