From the 12-note music of Schoenberg, via the stochastic procedures of Xenakis, to Carter's use of set theory, composers of the 20th and 21st centuries have engaged with number in fascinating ways, resulting in a rich and varied musical landscape.
This is a part of the series, Maths and Music, which explores a range of
connections between these two related disciplines.

tune? by Professor Robin Wilson
