What does the title of Péter Esterházy’s novel, Celestial Harmonies refer to?

Publishers recommend

Fantastic realism. Ervin Lázár: The Little Town of Miracles

Ervin Lázár is the creator of a genre we may safely call Central European folk surrealism, which takes on the quality of a hallucinatory exploration into that part of the soul where beauty, hope, and yearning live in close proximity with the harsh realities of life.
