Geometry in Music

Certain elements of a musical space are often represented by geometric figures. These allow music to be organised by establishing patterns and sequences between notes, but not only physically, but also in the mental musical realm. The metaphor of musical geometry is a mapping of each person's musical concept. This means that everyone has a different concept of the dominant music, so everyone creates different compositions, even when performing existing compositions.

In our mental mapping of musical concepts, there are geometric images that detail the composition of musical compositions. These geometric imaginations are expressed in the graphic space of music, transcribed into physics in different forms, such as musical scores. The image of a piece of music itself has a certain style and thought. This is called the language of geometry. Musicians use this language to express their creations and all their characteristics: duration, pitch, tone. In this way, there is a transfer between mathematics and music. The geometrical representation of music finally results in the components of the melody occupying a space.

Music teachers assign a mathematical structure to each of these families, so that they can be represented by points in complex geometric spaces. The various types of classification produce different geometrical figures, and reflect how musicians have understood music over the centuries.
