Re: calling all boffins

        Take a look at:

http://www.ptg.org/keys.htm

        Appart from this deterministic point of view explained through
neural brain connections, perhaps it is due to the combination of 'strict'
rules in music like rithm, tempo, harmonic laws, polyphonic voices,
tempered instruments, etc., with some free issues as phrasing, rubato,
articulation, feeling, etc. ... I guess ...

        Perhaps is the way to escape a bit (but not at all) from the
strict rules of science and at the same time approaching the free world of
feelings and art.

Bach)

We don't talk much about this phenomenon, and why the two realms seem so naturally to be so intimately related, but I think it's a fascinating topic.
