Nonono! Music involves many factors, is even dominated by them, that don't play a role of any significance in mathematics, like: aesthetics, taste, emotion... If music is really to be reduced to a ß-science, then I would say, that it is a combination of physics and biochemistry. Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P.
