music and mathematics

[Serassi1836]

Serassi, with all my respect -

a string or a pipe produce the sound. The sound itself is still not music. Surely any physical ( i.e. acoustic as well ) event can be described mathematically.

Any interval or chord can be - or should be, if you like -described with math terms. But neither intervals nor chords can be defined as music. They are parts of it, but they are not music itself ( hope you understand what I mean - this last sentence of mine looks like a perfect mess!

In fact, I don't think that music is only mathematichs: Music is based on Maths.

Musick's role in mathematics has nothing to do with numbers really, it has to do with Sacred Geometry.

And Geometry is number in space.

I think that the music has a mathemathical structure, but is an Art.

Where math is in music is iv the making of the instruments with geometry.
You probably wouldn't play a guitar that looked like a box. You would
want one with the figure eight shape and a round hole in it for the sound
unless it's electric.

Maths also is art

i like music but i do not like learn mathematic.

I read some days ago about Riemann's ipothesis.
Zeros at sea levels on Riemann's zeta function can extimate very well the number of prime numbers < n. But the extime isn't perfect. You must insert on the graph sinusoidal waves (that they are also sound waves) and you get the exact number of prime numbers < n. If we take these sinusoidal waves, we get a music. The prime numbers music.
