The Golden Mean, is very important in painting, design and music. Bartok’s beautiful composition, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, is an almost perfect reflection of symmetry and the Golden Mean. Listen to it for its beauty and marvel that his use of symmetry appears to be quite deliberate. Larry J.

I notice it in good writing and thought calling it out would help folks write better blog posts. The rhythm of nature is frequently found in the creative arts.

I don't know much about writing sonatas, but it's interesting how the two -- sonatas and writing -- mirror each other. You definitely got me thinking. Thanks for your kind word and interesting comparison! Hey James — I’m flattered to be noted here, and also kind of intrigued.
