"Diatonis, dia mendengar kata itu di kepalanya. Chromatic, pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic, octatonic, setiap iterasi dari skala membuka kemungkinan yang tak terhitung untuk harmoni. Dia memikirkan tentang Pythagoras mayor ketiga, koma Didymus, cara interval terdengar tidak selaras daripada seolah-olah mereka adalah catatan yang berbeda. Ini, pikirnya, adalah tempat kecemerlangannya dalam matematika menyatu dengan kecintaannya pada musik; musik adalah bidang di mana otak matematisnya menari."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Diatonic, he heard the word in his head. Chromatic, pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic, octatonic, each iteration of the scale opening innumerable possibilities for harmony. He thought about the Pythagorean major third, the Didymus comma, the way the intervals sound out of tune rather than as though they were different notes. This, he thought, was where his brilliance at mathematics bled into his love of music; music was the realm in which his mathematical brain danced.
