Abstract: The article discusses the correlations between the structure of the Gothic cathedral and the “cyclic sonata”, implicitly established by Vincent d’Indy on the basis of correspondence of the principle of translatory symmetry for architecture and music. An “architectural” interpretation of musical form (e.g., in Symphonie Cévenole) allows d’Indy to give it an inner proportionality expressed mathematically.
Keywords: Vincent d’Indy, Gothic cathedral, translational symmetry, “le principe cyclique”, cyclic sonata.
