Is the Ratio of Development and Recapitulation Length to Exposition Length in Mozart’s and Haydn’s Work Equal to the Go

1. Is the Ratio of Development and Recapitulation Length to Exposition Length in Mozart’s and Haydn’s Work  Equal to the Golden Ratio?  Ananda Jayawardhana

2. Introduction • Author: Dr. Jesper Ryden, Malmo University, Sweden • Title: Statistical Analysis of Golden-Ratio Forms in Piano Sonatas by Mozart and Haydn • Journal: Math. Scientist 32, pp1-5, (2007)

3. Abstract • The golden ratio is occasionally referred to when describing issues of form in various arts. • Among musicians, Mozart (1756-1791) is often considered as a master of form. • Introducing a regression model, the author carryout a statistical analysis of possible golden ratio forms in the musical works of Mozart. • He also include the master composer Haydn (1732-1809) in his study.

11. Example from Probability and Statistics • Consider the experiment of tossing a fair coin till you get two successive Heads • Sample Space={HH, THH, TTHH,HTHH,TTTHH, HTTHH, THTHH, TTTTHH, HTTTHH, THTTHH, TTHTHH, HTHTHH, …} • Number of Tosses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, … • # of Possible orderings: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, … • Number of possible orderings follows Fibonacci numbers.

15. Origins • The Fibonacci numbers first appeared, under the name mātrāmeru (mountain of cadence), in the work of the Sanskrit grammarianPingala (Chandah-shāstra, the Art of Prosody, 450 or 200 BC). Prosody was important in ancient Indian ritual because of an emphasis on the purity of utterance. The Indian mathematicianVirahanka (6th century AD) showed how the Fibonacci sequence arose in the analysis of metres with long and short syllables. Subsequently, the Jain philosopher Hemachandra (c.1150) composed a well-known text on these. A commentary on Virahanka's work by Gopāla in the 12th century also revisits the problem in some detail. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

19. Units http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory3.htm • Bars/Measures and Bar lines • Composers and performers find it helpful to 'parcel up' groups of notes into bars, although this did not become prevalent until the seventeenth century. In the United States a bar is called by the old English name, measure. Each bar contains a particular number of notes of a specified denomination and, all other things being equal, successive bars each have the same temporal duration. The number of notes of a particular denomination that make up one bar is indicated by the time signature. • The end of each bar is marked usually with a single vertical line drawn from the top line to the bottom line of the staff or stave. This line is called a bar line. • As well as the single bar line, you may also meet two other kinds of bar line. • The thin double bar line (two thin lines) is used to mark sections within a piece of music. Sometimes, when the double bar line is used to mark the beginning of a new section in the score, a letter or number may be placed above its. • The double bar line (a thin line followed by a thick line), is used to mark the very end of a piece of music or of a particular movement within it.
