On the mystique of numbers and the music of geometric figures as a basis for the process of the author’s composition

Summary/Abstract: The work returns to a longstanding preoccupation of the author with the world of numbers and also very briefly in that of geometric figures. In summary, these, both numbers and figures, are placed in relation to the act of composition, in other words, the way in which these can be the basis for the creation of a specific musical discourse. After reviewing the works previously composed, namely "O" and "Δ", the research continueswith a glanceat the act of composition of the piece "□" for soprano, trombone, piano and percussion, a piece in progress at the time of writing this article, in which, alongside the symbolism of the figure four and the square, we also consider the ten sephiroth of the Kabbala, which will be represented first graphically, and then, through the medium of graphics, implicitly musically.
