The visualization of music: Symmetry and asymmetry

Roberto Donnini
1986 Computers and Mathematics with Applications  
In this contribution the author attempts to explain the differences between music and its visualization (the score) and through various examples the relation between resonant result and score. In the same time he tries to show all the possible concepts of symmetry (and asymmetry) that exist inside this relation and in the graphical signs of certain scores. A new definition of symmetry is not formulated rather, a direction for a new way to conceive it is given.
