Golden proportion

The Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106, BB 114 is one of the best-known Béla Bartók's compositions. It's third movement (Adagio) is the music of my picture, by the way, an excellent example of Bartók's "Night music". The relation with my photo-work is based on the thought that the rhythm of the movement opening solo xylophone is based on the Fibonacci sequence as this "written-out accelerando ritardando" uses the rhythm 1:2:3:5:8:5:3:2:1. that of the "Golden Proportion" and the acoustic scale.

1.618 ad infinitum!
Never repeating, always intriguing
Fibonacci born; phi!

Golden Section behold!
Creation sequence, nature's frequence
Mathematical phenomena; phi!

Heaven's divine proportion!
Ancient mystery, living history
Infinite and eternal; phi!
