ARROYAVE MONTOYA, MYRIAM. The Ontological Commitment of Music in the Western World. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.153, pp.7-30. ISSN 0120-0062.
ABSTRACT The music of the Western world has always had a necessary and more or less committed relationship to arithmetic, geometry, and physics. The article carries out a historical review of this relation, in order to point out some of the philosophical and epistemological issues shared by those disciplines. The path covered starts out with the Greeks and ends with the High Middle Ages, when the principles of disatematic notation are established. The latter, in turn, constitutes the basis for staff notation, that is, the symbolic system typical of Western tradition until the 20th century.
