“It is impossible to summarize a work of such depth. Suffice it to say that abstract algebra, topology, number theory, geometry, and so on are all involved. If you are a serious devotee of musical-mathematical theory and have a very extensive background in both areas, the book will be a treasure.” (James Van Speybroeck, Computing Reviews, April, 2018)​
