Mozart, Phi, and Brown's Da Vinci Code

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."

Constanze Mozart and Photo

This post by Mrs. Selby is a reaction to my earlier post "Photo of Mozart's Widow Found."  Refer to the link of the photo in question. 26 July, 2006 )

Photo Claimed to be that of Constanze Mozart's, Wife of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

By Agnes Selby, Guest Writer

I wish I could agree with the newspapers which seem to have found it newsworthy to publish a photograph of Constanze Mozart. No research into this matter has been done either by the Press nor the authorities in Altotting. (Or Altottingen, which ever you prefer).

The photo surfaced a long time ago but it has been found that the claim that this is Constanze Mozart cannot be supported and it was placed in the files at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. For some reason it has surfaced, again without any substantiation.
