I think it has something to do with the harmonic series? I remember something about it in this lecture I heard by Leonard Bernstein. You should definitely check it out, it's called The Unanswered Question (I have the DVDs). He kind of begins his discussion with an anthropological perspective--which you'd dig--and explains why everyone worldwide just straight up knows the Pentatonic Scale.
Oh no, I've been bored. I think it is quite impossible not to have been bored at some point while here over the summer. I just got distracted before I clicked on firefox most of the time.
Andrew, that sounds amazing. I'll have to check it out.

ReplyDeleteI am frankly surprised it took you this long to get bored in Mount Vernon.
