Mozart and Brown's Da Vinci Code in Phi
This is a very interesting topic that Terry brought up in a discussion from one of my Mozart groups.
For anyone familiar with Dan Brown's controversial bestseller The Da Vinci Code, we come across a reference in page 134, well, in Terry's copy and in mine. Robert Langdon the professor is talking to his students about PHI, which he calls the Divine Proportion or 1.618. He says it occurs in nature, in art, in architecture, and "appeared in the organizational structure of Mozart's sonatas."
The relationship of Phi to Mozart's sonatas in terms of the master's organisational structure in his music is interesting. I hope to find out more about this through research, and discussions with my Mozart group friends.
If anyone knows anything about this and would like to comment, we would like to hear from you. Thanks.
