source file: mills3.txt Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:28:52 +0100 Subject: Mozart From: jmenich@juno.com (john e menich) My wife was just telling me about the Governor of a southern state who wants to give the parents of every newborn child a CD of Mozart. He says it is fact that children/babies that are exposed to classical music are better at math. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this! Since 12tet is only an approximation how can this be possible? My wife is a classically trained pianist and believes it has nothing to do with the math (funny) but with the complexity of the melodies and harmonies. Any thoughts? Hey, maybe my poor math skills are the result of my parents love for Polka music? John Menich SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: "Jonathan M.
