I'm far from a grad student in math, but what I find helps me focus/my mind work better:

Its the patterns you make from those 8 notes thats important. Music is about differences between one note and another, shit, 8 notes right there is 64 combinations of two notes, and three notes? thats hundreds.

Its the depth and subtly you get from varying those 8 notes that makes it interesting. Contrast, music is all about contrast, contrasting frequencies, contrasting volumes, and contrasting tempos.

Exactly. The larger the contrast, the greater the emotional reaction (see: Nocturne Op 15 No 1).

Subtle manipulation of the melody through slight variations can be marveling to watch as they are played. It takes more dexterity to play Bach and Mozart I believe if you do it right (no damper).

But the lack of dynamics and abrupt changes in tempo/shift to keys makes it dull!

I'm not trolling. I've listened to a lot of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven (he sometimes follows Bach/Mozart patterns), and Vivaldi.
