Gilad Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I am looking for a book where I can find information about Kepler's research about the connection between the planets and the music intervals. I once had some papers taken from such a book (called something like "a little book of stars"), but lost them. I would be very happy if someone had heard about something like that. Thanks!

Demonperformer Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hi, and welcome to SGL. I'm not acquainted with the book you mention, but there is a discussion of Kepler's "Harmonic Ordering" of the solar system in chapter 7 of this paper on Ceres.

Ouroboros Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It wasn't Harmonices Mundi was it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonices_Mundi Maybe there's an English translation from the Latin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Or there is a book entitled The Little Book of Stars https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Stars/dp/0387950052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyctimene Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 In his famous book "The Sleepwalkers", Arthur Koestler describes (Part Four, Chapter II and III; about 35 pages) a lot of details around Kepler's "Mysterium Cosmographicum", embedded in it's various contexts; an interesting read (as is the whole book, very recommendable!)

Ruud Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi Gilad, there is a freely available translation of Harmonies of the World, by Johannes Kepler (mentioned above) and Project Gutenberg has some titles on Kepler that briefly touch upon the topic.
