Ever felt as though a piece of music is speaking to you? You could be right:
musical notes are strung together in the same patterns as words in a piece of
literature, according to an Argentinian physicist.

You can read the whole article at
<http://www.nature.com/nsu/040614/040614-11.html> It contains a link to the
original paper, which I haven't read, but I did think that it was a pretty
bold claim to make based on analysing only three pieces of music.
