Abstract

This article examines Abd al-Kadir ibn Gaybi al-Hafez al-Maragi’s (1353-1435) Sharh-iAdwar (Commentary to “Сircles”) treatise on music which reflects on the six hundred years of scientific experiences in music theory since al-Farabi up to the beginning of 15th century. Analyse discovers two description languages of the same pitched-sound system. Both of them depend on the hierarchical and non-hierarchical organization of the structural units, connected with the analytic and synthetic research methods and the genus-species and non-genus-species relations of the basic categories of music theory.
