I’m often amazed by all the holidays and observances there are on the calendar. Today — November 1 — is Author’s Day, so I’ve chosen Beautiful Music connected to Johann Joseph Fux. The Austrian composer, music theorist and pedagogue wrote an influential book on counterpoint called GRADUS AD PARNASSUM, and his 1725 treatise has been used by generations of composers since. Today’s Beautiful Music is a composition produced by computer algorithm based on Johann Joseph Fux’s principles, turning his theories into music.
