Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why does a piano have exactly twelve keys? Why does lowering one note turn a bright chord sad? And what does a leap-year calendar have to do with either question?The Mathematical Landscape of Musicis for readers who've always suspected that music and mathematics were never really two subjects - just one idea wearing two costumes.It began with a question from a twelve-year-old violinist that the author, a longtime mathematics teacher, couldn't answer on the spot: "Why twelve keys?
