Abstract

This essay explores parallels between the experiences of Alexandra De Castro as a professional scientist and her musi- cal education. Both disciplines have represented for her similar forms of intellectual enjoyment. She states that science and music are close to each other in terms of the images, sensations, and stories that emerge during the silent reading of the equations of physics or the music scores, each in its own language
