Notes

  1. 1.

    Fourier seems to be the creator of the idea of women’s emancipation, more than 180 years ago!

  2. 2.

    Mercury, fifth Earth satellite, favorite moon or rector and major octave.

  3. 3.

    Observe that playing classical early nineteenth century composers on twentieth century instruments is also a synthesis of different musical times.
