4 The interplay between algebra and geometry in music " Concerning music, it takes place in time, like algebra. In mathematics, there is this fundamental duality between, on the one hand, geometry which corresponds to the visual arts, an immediate intuition and on the other hand algebra. This is not visual, it has a temporality. This fits in time, it is a computation, something that is very close to the language, and which has its diabolical precision. [...] And one only perceives the development of algebra through music (A. Connes).!

La sera non è più la tua canzone (Mario Luzi, 1945, tratto da Poesie sparse) R L P La sera non è più la tua canzone, è questa roccia d ombra traforata dai lumi e dalle voci senza fine, la quiete d una cosa già pensata. Ah questa luce viva e chiara viene solo da te, sei tu così vicina al vero d una cosa conosciuta, per nome hai una parola ch è passata nell intimo del cuore e s è perduta. Caduto è più che un segno della vita, riposi, dal viaggio sei tornata dentro di te, sei scesa in questa pura sostanza così tua, così romita nel silenzio dell essere, (compiuta). L aria tace ed il tempo dietro a te si leva come un arida montagna dove vaga il tuo spirito e si perde, un vento raro scivola e ristagna.

57 The morphological vs the mathematical genealogy of the structuralism" [The notion of transformation] comes from a work which played for me a very important role and which I have read during the war in the United States : On Growth and Form, in two volumes, by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, originally published in The author (...) proposes an interpretation of the visible transformations between the species (animals and vegetables) within a same gender. This was fascinating, in particular because I was quickly realizing that this perspective had a long tradition: behind Thompson, there was Goethe s botany and behind Goethe, Albert Dürer with his Treatise of human proportions (Lévi-Strauss, conversation with Eribon, 1988).
