[Redbook6:155-156][19890715:1035d]{Mathematics
and Music}[15th July 1989]

[continued]
Mathematics
is nearly integrated* and is almost incapable of a directly
separating effect (in this I distinguish mathematics from its
material applications).
Music,
by contrast, is nearly disintegrated,* so much so that each particle
of it appears in all its manifestations, as near as no matter, and
there is no obvious distinction between its outer and its inner
expression and use: any one expression of music is in principle
capable of giving rise to both attractive/unifying, and separating
(and disintegrating and integrating) effects, not just in different
hearers, but even on occasion in the same
hearer.**
*[See
diagram in last previous entry]
**[At
the same hearing?]
