Vivaldi & Time
In Episode 7 of The Ascent of Man titled “The Majestic Clockwork” Jacob Bronowski discusses the Theory of Relativity.
In Episode 8 of Cosmos titled “Journeys in Space and Time” Carl Sagan discusses this same topic.
Both episodes have Vivaldi’s Winter mvt 1. Allegro non molto playing in the background while doing so.
Sagan, who was inspired to do Cosmos by seeing The Ascent of Man most likely did this as a hat tip to Bruno, or subconsciously chose it. The subject matter and the song both deal with the passage of time.
Just an interesting thing I noticed today while geeking out, that I thought I’d should share.
