Keely
Wed. July 28, 1886, the Public Ledger said "Let us have some actual useful work ... this display last week ... the "whizz" of the big sphere (etc.) seems to have been so rapid and the racket so stunning as to more greatly puzzle those present ... then on any former occasion ... We would rather have found Mr. Keely less inclined to be mysterious ... less disposed to talk in terms of ... meaningless jargon to ... the informed." [Snell Manuscript - The Book, page 2]
Nature's own art, not man's device, enables us to realize and represent all the harmonic progressions that belong to music. It has been nature's self to the practical and inspired musician. By the division of the octave into twelve semitones, he is emancipated from the restrictions and jargon which arise from misapplied mathematics. The mathematicians say that such and such things are wrong; the great masters in music inspirationally do these very things. [Scientific Basis and Build of Music, page 33]
