Dr. Alfred's Partheil's Paper, Page 12

to me to prove that the form of energy we call matter follows the laws of wave movements too. I hope that this realization has broadened and deepened your view of the nature of matter and its parts. What is this realization promising to achieve? From the vantage point to which I have led you today, let us take a flashlight picture of the newly gained terrain.

Couldn't the individual wave of the frequencies that we perceive as oxygen be an electron, a set of these same waves be an atom, and a bar of the same be a molecule of the same oxygen? Would the molecule of a chemical combination become a bar of a chord? Wouldn't that turn affinity into harmony and chemical value into value of notes?
In which musical relationship to each other is the pitch of related elements? Wouldn't more and different relationships of the elements to each other appear, different from those the rigid structure of the periodic system has permitted us to predict?

How will the relationship of stereo chemistry to musical chemistry develop, and how will the latter be able to explain the phenomena of allotropy and isomery, especially optical isomery?

Gentlemen, these are questions that could be followed by many more, questions that claim an answer. You might say: This is chemical music, music of the future. Well, I hope that through the collective working of the gained terrain the future will bring us answers to at least some of these questions, and I do not doubt that in some way or other the formula A.W.=o*i will play a role.
