Qu'ont en commun les musiques de Mozart et des Beatles ? On peut répondre qu'elles sont toutes deux écrites avec la même échelle musicale. Quel est le point commun entre les musiques de Mozart et celles des Beatles ? Tout simplement l'échelle musicale à l'origine de leur écriture. En effet, presque toute la musique occidentale utilise la gamme à douze degrés : do, do#, ré, ré#, mi, fa, fa#, sol, sol#, la, la#, si.

CaféLitt is not a place; it is a gathering of minds. We are a group of mostly Persian young students, scholars and professionals who gather every Thursday evening around 19h00 in a café to discuss various subjects and share different ideas, ranging vastly from history to science, from literature to fine arts. We started these gatherings on Jan 18th, 2007. Each week, one of us takes the responsibility of presenting a topic (in Persian, English or French) for about an hour in a subject s/he is intimately familiar with or has an expertise in. Afterwards, the evening turns into a discussion forum and all members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask their question(s) and share their points of view.
CaféLitt is open to all comments, suggestion, collaboration and new ideas. CaféLitt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning about culture, science and philosophy in a relaxed and friendly environment, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with like-minded members of your community.
CaféLitt is officially registered as a non-profitable group and is a nonpartisan, nonreligious and nonpolitical entity.
