Scope and content
Zuckerkandl explores the creation of works of art. He is particularly concerned with the roles of “growth” and “work” (“Wachstum” and “Werk”). Using examples from music by Bach and Beethoven, Zuckerkandl demonstrates coalescing of growth (“Wachstum”) and work (“Werk”). Zuckerkandl considers if machines are capable of composing as humans do. This draft is very close to the published form.
