Space of Melodies - a Music Theory

From a waiting room Time magazine, I found out about the work of Prof Dmitri Tymoczko http://music.princeton.edu/, Princeton University. He asserts a few things (we always end up studying music from 1700-1900), then goes on to present an ordering in a perhaps multi-dimensional space termed "Chordspaces". A very pleasant software task there, provides downloads of his presentation engine. He has captured a few Chopin melodies, displayed here http://music.princeton.edu/~dmitri/chopin2.mov - I'll learn how to post mov's one of these days.

Wow

Just now mostly past a cranial tumorectomy - hospital was no resort, as I had tried to image it going into the deal. Wiser, way older.
Discovered youTube during the late recovery stage. I've had music going through my mind so many times, always wondering where it came from. One of theses is here...





hauntingly beautiful music
And many more, reminds me of another golden age.
