Anagrammatical Composition with Dice by VALIE EXPORT (after W.A. Mozart, Piano) for Soprano Saxophone Oct 5, 2010

The starting point for this film is an eighteenth-century musical dice game attributed to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A sequence of short, precomposed musical options are randomly selected through rolling dice and following a table of rules; these sequences are then patched together to create a new composition. Here we see one possible result of this chance procedure.
