Mozart created this composition game by composing eleven interchangable variations for each measure of an 8 measure Minuet composition. All 11 variations for each measure were written on cards and placed in 8 different stacks (one for each measure). The game was played by rolling a pair of dice and selecting one of the eleven choices from each of the 8 stacks of this short composition. After the measures were selected then the new composition could be performed. We'll simulated that game with a computer generated roll of the dice for each of the measure and assemble a composition. Click the 'Roll the Dice' button to hear a randomly generated composition composed by Mozart with dice rolling done by the computer.
