pokkets says:

A musical score described as a requiem was found by Giovanni Pala, when he drew the five lines of a musical 'Staff' and assigned notes to the hands and the bread. Da Vinci was an accomplished lyre player, and liked puzzles. I can imagine him laughing that it took someone so long to find. Still it would have been obvious to him, and one person's music can be another's noise.
