on’s structure was a geometric shape modeled of 3 spheres containing a smal-
ler one concentric sphere (Example 1, Diagram).
As far as musical form symphony is a system of spheres (see Diagram),
the following spheres are distinguished:
• Sphere of harmony – basing on two cords, one built of 9 thirds mi-
nor and 2 supertonics, the composed of 8 thirds major and 3 minor
thirds in symmetric order,
• Sphere of rhythm – compounded of 3 6-note module (a, b, c) in
transpositions,
