Coming
from music theory of classical antiquity, Farabi (870-950) and Avicenna
(980-1037) considered music to be part of mathematics and included
it into their regional and contemporary theory. Beside the introduction
into Avicenna's and Farabi's way of thinking, this lecture attempts
to investigate one of the most important problems of musicology
with a mathematical point of view: the formation of scales with
the help of the scale of 17 pitches by the systematic theory. For
mathematical logic and human demands on music and aesthetics do
not contradict themselves very rarely.
