Music and Geometry: A Geometric Interpretation of Intervals and Scales
2024-12-19
This article explores the fascinating connection between music and geometry, specifically how intervals and scales are represented in geometric shapes. Using the relationships of intervals in twelve-tone equal temperament, the author constructs various geometric figures such as lines, triangles, squares, hexagons, dodecagons, and dodecagrams. These visuals illustrate the relationships between different intervals. The article also delves into just intonation, Greek modes, and symmetrical scales, offering a unique perspective on music theory through geometric visualization.
