I think that the original is a comparison, viz, "Architecture is frozen music," or some such. Never quite got that one; esp. regarding the simplistic comparison of one form with another. Detracts from the significance of either, yes? (And, historically, music does pre-date architecture, going back to the days when folk lived in simple minor chord structures.)
