Music and prime numbers. Artwork of a blackboard displaying the opening of Part I of the Goldberg Variations (1741), an aria and set of 30 variations by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Numbers (mostly prime numbers) have been written on the blackboard and the title rewritten as Prime Variations. A prime number is one only divisible by 1 and itself

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Music and Prime Numbers" takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in the world of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. The print showcases a blackboard displaying the opening of Part I of his renowned Goldberg Variations from 1741. The aria and set of 30 variations are beautifully depicted alongside intricate patterns and musical notes. What makes this artwork truly unique is the incorporation of prime numbers into its design. Prime numbers, those divisible only by one and themselves, have been meticulously written on the blackboard, transforming Bach's masterpiece into what is now known as "Prime Variations". This fusion between music and mathematics highlights both cultural significance and mathematical brilliance. The white background enhances the historical ambiance while allowing every detail to shine through. This European-style cartoon illustration not only pays homage to classical music but also celebrates the genius behind Bach's compositions. As we admire this piece, we can't help but marvel at how it seamlessly blends elements from different disciplines - music, history, mathematics - creating a harmonious symphony that transcends time. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries; it can be found in unexpected places like an old classroom blackboard or within prime numbers themselves. Science Photo Library presents this extraordinary artwork as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries – where culture meets calculation in perfect harmony.
