I hadn't noticed that! But Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is much calmer than the piece of music that I have in mind. For a more appropriately menacing vibe, replace the counting numbers by an ominous four-syllable phrase repeated eight times, such as "Boil that dust-speck! / Boil that dust-speck! / ..." (for fans of "Horton Hears a Who"). Jim On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 9:46 PM, Thane Plambeck <tplambeck@gmail.com> wrote:
well, it's sort of eine kleine nachtmusik-y (?)

If you count to 32 at an even tempo, shouting the six numbers that are on the list and whispering the other twenty-six (or better yet replacing the number-names by a nonsense syllable like "bom" to ease the strain of polysyllabicity), the right idea will spring to mind.

Can any of you mathemusicians spot the significance of the sequence 1,10,12,18,21,25,30?
