That second link has a lot of really cool quotes and reference points for Einstein and music!

>Thus Albert directly attributes the Theory of Relativity to his study of music and how it allowed him to access his intuitive thinking. He once said that "the highest form of musicality in the realm of thought" (Paul Schilpp, 1979) as a way to explain to "mathematical" students that thought in its highest form is not mathematical but musical.

This is the quote I've been needing for so long - it's hard to put into words, but I've gotten into XX arguments with people that "Math is the universal language" is wrong and it should be "Music is the universal language." Math is a form of notation. Music is a form of communication.
