<DIV>Hi all</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Isn’t Glenn Gould making a few brief cameo appearences in Gödel, Escher
Bach ? I seem to remember his name coming up when I tried to read that book –
but sadly failed coz I is 2 stupid 2 grok this. Gödel, Escher, Bach will
definetly trip you out, but in a good way. Infinity loops, fractals, Moebius
strips, the Krabbenkanon and a turtle falling through the grooves of a Bach
recording: </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Thanks also for
the image of the sheet music. You might be interested in an analysis of the
symmetry and mathematical architecture of Chopin's piano compositions in the
book "Metamagical Themas" by Douglas Hofstadter (who also wrote "Godel,
Escher, Bach"). You can see the original Chopin essay
here</SPAN></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
