XVI "Music came to a full stop with Brahms; and even in Brahms I can begin to hear the noise of machinery" Wittgenstein (1930) 1 Pure Jazz is everything that is random.(We have input, the program, and output.) 2 What is random, the fact, is the existence of musical facts. (The input is random within a range, a random choice from a known number of elements.) 3 The musical picture of the facts are the notes. (The program is the advancement of time with each random choice.) 4 The notes are the significant propositions. (The notes can be from imperceptible to indefinite. To be significant, they almost always are short or a fraction of short and within a musical range) 5 Propositions are musical functions of elementary propositions. (An elementary proposition is a musical function of itself.) 6 The general form of musical functions is: MF = random(lower_limit,higher_limit) (This is the binary form of propositions, the Bernoulli trial) 7 Whereof one cannot make a note, one must make a rest.
