I believe that we call it Treble Clef because it is the third clef. As you say, the staff line that the curl surrounds represents the 'G'. The other two clefs are the Bass Clef, aka F Clef with the two dots showing the line position of the 'F', and the Alto Clef, aka C Clef, that designates the line position of middle C by means of the indentation of the curly brace.

Each of these clef signatures may be positioned on different lines of the staff for the convenience of reading music related to the different instrument or vocal ranges.

The conventional labels (as used in the U.S.) for clefs in various positions are more convention than definition. The F clef is only the bass clef when F is the second line from the top, but in practice one would hardly be likely to see it any other way. My comment about the treble clef was a setup for a punch line that was obviously intended to be a joke--I doubt many musicians have ever seen the G clef used in any other positions, as it would be when known as the French violin clef. But the C clef may commonly be in either of two positions, known as the alto clef and the tenor clef. (Quixotically, the soprano clef uses the C clef marking, not the G clef).

But as we have shown (even Struan) it takes a reach onto the shelf for a music theory dictionary (or, in my case, Gardner Read's classic notation text) to remember the details, at least for those who don't specialize in "historically informed" music, which, come to think of it, might be just the sort of intellectual trifle that would amuse Struan.

Perhaps too literal (large format and landscape):

And a couple of weird ones (petzval and pinhole):

Very interesting composition, indeed.

I like the sound of sympathetic strings, both on folk (Hardanger) fiddles and the classical Viola d'amore. It's an interesting concept too - like a good, but not too literal visual echo.

Here's a landscape I'm still not sure about.

Stitched four shots together in Photoshop 2.0 back in 1992, a technique that has since become a standard workflow. Prints scanned on a Xerox Kurzweil scanner! One mile wide covers the entire base, the vertical rise is over 2000', Alta, Utah.

Thanks for the comments.

Beautiful panorama Frank.
