Musical Dice Games : Mozart, Haydn, and Other Great Composers

Musical dice games are the 18th century parlour games and musicological curiosities as well: by throwing the dice and using certain tabular systems, one may determine bar combinations which sound as if specially composed. Throw the dice yourself or let the computer combine the bars for you. The finished piece can be listened to immediately. It can also be printed so that you may play it on the piano later. Or save the score with the appropriate MIDI file and send it to your friends by e-mail as a musical greeting.Reuter, Christoph is the author of 'Musical Dice Games : Mozart, Haydn, and Other Great Composers', published 2001 under ISBN 9783795760809 and ISBN 3795760801.
