Response to Guerino Mazzola
Alan A. Marsden · Journal of Mathematics and Music · 2012
This response to Guerino Mazzola defends the use of imprecise concepts in some circumstances, particularly in the light of the impossibility of a precise definition of the domain of music. A possible contribution of mathematics to music through the demonstration of relationships between formulations of different theories is envisaged, specifically those of species counterpoint and functional harmony.
