Mozart's Dice Game 1.0


Category: Music
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)

Description:

This application is based on a musical dice game, or "Musikalisches Würfelspiel", attributed to composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, published in 1792, one year after the composer's death. The game lets you create a musical piece, consisting of a minuet and trio, out of 272 different musical measures. The minuet and trio are each 16 measures long and for each measure there are 11 (for the minuet) and 6 (for the trio) different outcomes. The outcome is determined by dice-rolling.

In this application, you don't have to roll the dice yourself. Each time you choose to generate a new piece, measures are randomly selected by a simulated dice roll, and the result is a minuet and trio in the style of Mozart. There are (11^16) * (6^16) different outcomes - and that's a huge number - so you'll never run out of new music!
