This chapter delves into the pleasing elements of music, such as harmonies and rhythms, that automatically evoke joy in us. It discusses the abstract pattern recognition quality in music and how our inability to fully explain its structure adds to the pleasure of listening.
Today we're joined by Dmitri Tymoczko, Professor of Music at Princeton University. Dmitri will talk about the geometry and patterns we hear in music, as well as explore its history, particularly from the 1900s onwards.
