Abstract
Can a philosophic analogy be drawn between music, a major formal area and discipline of the fine arts, and microsurgery, a branch of applied medical science and research? Is an interdisciplinary view of value? Should we look for links beyond the stated boundaries of each of these areas? These are questions that fascinate physicians who, apart from their professional scientific activity, are also involved in making music a way to enrich their lives. In this paper a medical researcher, physician, and composer gives words to his thoughts about the parallel ideas and philosophies of these two disciplines.
