About Lesson
Our second session will focus on the Fibonacci numbers, a mathematical sequence that has accompanied composers through the centuries and is closely related to the idea of the golden ratio. We will analyse Karlheinz Stockhausen’s “Klavierstück 9” and show how the Fibonacci numbers help structure the entire piece, from a micro- to a macro-structural level. In addition, we will show some examples of other ways to use the Fibonacci sequence to compose music.
