Mathematics and Art - Extra Research

At this point, I had to of course ensure that I could either create a composition or find a famous composition that could appropriately gauge the presence of mathematics in art which was music in this case. At this point, I spent my efforts locating a song that employed the mathematical properties discussed in my essay. And I managed to find one that has been with our lives for many a year since childhood. So this was the composition that I aimed to play along with the various other demonstrations of mathematics that I wanted to portray, 'Mary had a little Lamb.'The piece only that I played of course only followed the top bars of every line with the notes already listed on, where these notes only employed notes considered to be Fibonacci Notes when 'Low C' is treated as a the root note.

Now, despite the fact that I lacked the actual material to represent my idea I also was aware of the fact that I lacked a little bit more research to ensure that my idea would actually properly and genuinely work. It was now up to me to find out the volume of water needed in each glass or bottle so I could properly mimic, a real piano scale for each separate note. Going through sites I located a variety of sites that each determined a different method to replicating a piano scale which made it difficult. So it was now my job to take up some spare time to find any normal glass and play around with it by tampering with water levels and comparing it with my piano to ensure that everything was right. So having done the research and saving it all in separate bookmarks for future reference when necessary.
