In music, John Cage , an avant garde musician, composed music by superimposing star maps on blank sheet music, by rolling dice, and by preparing open ended scores that depended on the spontaneous decisions of the performers. 1 Other ways of practicing randomness include coin tossing, picking something out of a hat, or selecting random words from a dictionary.

About a Surrealist art technique Frottage disambiguation Frottage In art , frottage from French frotter , to rub is a surrealism surrealist and automatic method of creative production developed by Max Ernst . In frottage the artist takes a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a rubbing over a textured surface. The drawing can be left as is or used as the basis for further refinement. While superficially similar to brass rubbing and other forms of rubbing intended to reproduce an existing subject, and in fact sometimes being used as an alternate term for it, frottage differs in being wiktionary aleatory aleatoric and random in nature. It was developed by Ernst in 1925. Ernst was inspired by an ancient wooden floor where the grain of the planks had been accentuated by many years of scrubbing. The patterns of the graining suggested strange images to him. He captured these by laying sheets of paper on the floor and then rubbing over them with a soft pencil. Frottage has also been used in mail art .

Igor tuhec born 15 December 1932 is a contemporary Slovenia n composer, who lives in Ljubljana and Maribor . He studied composition at the Ljubljana Academy of Music under Lucijan Marija kerjanc and Matija Bravni ar . He continued his studies at the Vienna Academy of Music and Dramatic Art under Hanns Jelinek , and also at the Darmst dter Ferienkurse . After some early neo classical orchestral works that show his mastery of traditional techniques, tuhec gradually moved towards the adoption of new techniques in the early 1960s. Although in 1955 he had produced a musique concr te composition in Biological Transformation , the radical change came with the chamber pieces Situacija 1963 and Silhuete 1964 and the orchestral Differentiations 1964 , all of which exhibit his assimilation of 12 note and aleatory procedures. tuhec s skill is particularly evident in miniatures such as the Minikoncert , where his writing is at its most delicate and the textures are almost always crystal clear. A later group of orchestral works extending his textural techniques, notably the concertos and the three Entuziazmi pieces, display a vivid imagination and a strong rhythmic momentum. Also among his works are two operas , Zupanova Micka 1948 and Moon Dawn 1973 . He is a winner of the Pre eren Prize. ref http opera.stanford.edu composers S.html Opera Glass ref References reflist Sources http www.historyorb.com today search.php?day 15&month All&year All&text 0&e 1&b 1&d 1&start 1800 Today in History Archives Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

The name broadly means in two parts , and is in accordance with Lutos awski s preference for two part structures during the 1960s to 1970s a preparation part, and a main body with development and climax this is most clearly demonstrated in his Symphony No. 2 Lutos awski Symphony No. 2 . Analysis The fifteen minute piece starts off with ethereal, sliding string textures. A cantilena played by the bass clarinet slowly rises from the lowest registers. Other woodwind instruments soon join in, playing motives reminiscent of bird song. An orchestral flourish, complete with brass, leads the music into the agitated second half akin to a development section . The brass take on a more prominent role, and the previous ethereal textures are now replaced by rigorous rhythms in traditional notation. The music builds up to a powerful climax, incorporating Lutos awski s trademark Witold Lutoslawski Aleatory technique semi aleatoric techniques . The tension is subsequently released and the music reverts back to ethereal beauty divided strings slowly climb up to the highest registers, and the piece ends with soft repercussions from celesta, harp, and timpani.
