Why is it played from right to left? Is there some musical historical reasoning to back that?
Well, the truth is, you could take almost anything, reduce it to math, and translate it to music. Music and mathematics really aren’t so far apart.
True, Crispy, but if you play a protractor, don’t put it under your chin…
He wrote left to right because he was a lefty. And after listening to that, if he was a composer, we know why he hid all his music.
I have to agree w/ LadyBelle and ask why is it played right to left? Doesn’t make sense to me…
Davinci wrote EVERYTHING backwards, not only because he was a lefty, but to make it more difficult to have his thoughts/ideas stolen, worse still, he knew he could be persecuted for some of his ideas, thus his own ‘code.’
