Pythagoras discovered that there is a connection between musical notes and numbers: if the frequency of two notes played together are in a ratio of small integers to one another, the resulting musical cord will be harmonious. Music may have become increasingly complicated as it has evolved over the centuries, but it has always obeyed this rule, which forms the basis of classical harmony. Yet numbers have a musical relevance only in their capacity as the representation of physical phenomena which make it easier for our bio-neural apparatus to pick up and decipher the musical message.
