Yes. In music we've got to measure the notes and the beats, say, for one measure of 4/4, a combination of several notes and rests should total to four beat in a staff, i.e. combination of four quarter notes; one half note and two quarter notes; four eight note, one quarter note and one quarter rest etc.
Philosophy and math. Math is reasoning and so is Philosophy. Philosophy and music...hm... maybe the reason why music touches one's soul: Doctrine of Ethos.

A subtle commonality? I think there is a subtle commonality flowing through all of existence. What an odd question. The beauty of math is in it's infinite ability to produce applications in the form of equations that represent the physical nature of the universe. The substance of music is in it's infinite variations that carry our hearts and minds to higher planes. Alleviating the soul while never changing anything but the vibrations of air around us. Philosophy is a system we build to understand why and how all things can possibly fit together in such logical ways and yet so easy to define they defy us with complexity at every turn and application. What is the commonality that runs through all three? Logic, simple dry logic that when broken down is very poor but when applied composes such wonderful, books, buildings and melodies that the world has not yet finished discovering their infinite possibilities which exist in a world that seems so defnite and dying and limited. Maybe.

I think there should be such subtle commonality between maths and philosophy since these two great fields of study, presumably, require highest intellectual potential from those studying at all levels. We always admire those world-famed scholars like Bertrand Russell, A.N. Whitehead, Karl Popper, etc. and a lot more.

I am sure there is a connection between music and maths. I have found that professional musicians tend to be either very good at math or very poor at it. And of course, I believe the conductor Ernest Ansermet was a mathematician.

there is art in philosophy and philosophy in art, and there is login in both as well as the lack of it. maths is a component of logic.
in the math and music comparison and the math and philosophy comparison math is a component but also an opposite.
