Summary

Johannes Kepler improved the Copernican heliocentric model and his three famous laws described with a great accuracy the movement of the planets. However, not only scientific knowledge can be found in his works, but he also wrote about the music produced by the planets, in other words, the music of the spheres, topic first developed by the Pythagoreans. This work tries to do a comparison between Kepler´s different faces, philosophical and scientific, musical and astronomical.
