摘要
Music critics have compared Bach's music to the precision of mathematics. What 'mathematics' and what 'precision' are the questions for a curious scientist. The purpose of this short note is to suggest that the mathematics is, at least in part, Mandelbrot's fractal geometry and the precision is the deviation from a log-log linear plot.
