Untangling the curious links between notes and number, musical perception, psychology and physics, David Darling examines the fascinating science behind music, from its Palaeolithic origins to the present.

- Why do we find some pieces sad and others happy?
- Will playing Mozart to babies predispose them to genius?
- Could an AI write the perfect symphony?
