THE AFFINITY OF COLOURS AND NUMBERS AND HOW MUSIC AND NUMBERS ARE ASSOCIATED

 Numbers and music show very decided affinities. The number 1, 3 and 9 persons like martial, inspiring or what may be called “full-blooded” tones; number 2 and 7 persons are more partial to string and wind instruments, such as the violin, cello, harp, pipes, etc.; number 6 persons like romantic, sweet music of all kinds with a lilt and rhythm; number 5 persons lean towards either extremely original or unusual music, something off the beaten track. Number 4 and 8 persons, if musical, have a special leaning for the organ and make magnificent choir or choral leaders, but in all their music there is an undertone of plaintiveness, melancholy, religious favour or fatalism.
