Excerpt from Musical Pitch and the Measurement of Intervals Among the Ancient Greeks Tive matter, but actual plans of temples, dwelllngs, and soforth. In proportlon as these plans were perfect, we should be ln a pos1tlon at any moment to construct more or less accu rate representatlons of these ancient buildlngs or even to make a 11fe-smze restoration. In such a case an01ent arch1 tecture would be ln a cond1tion, so far as our appreclatlon of 1t ls concerned, analogous to that ln wh1ch anclent mus1c now flnds itself. We have admlrable theoretlcal treatlses and we have also a few 1ncomplete plans and speclflcatlons; for what 1s a mu31cal score but a draw1ng or a ground plan of the mu81cal structure? To reproduce 1t, all that IS needed 1s a knowledge of the symbols employed ln the speclflcatlons and the means to interpret them accordlng to the conventlons there used.
