Music and the Absolute (the Forum)

6 February 2017, 6:00 pm8:00 pm

Event Navigation

In the film Amadeus, Mozart remarks that ‘his composition has the exact amount of notes’, hinting at some kind of Absolute. For contemporary composer Nimrod Borenstein, there is only one solution: the right number of notes at the right place, as if his music had always existed. Are there philosophical arguments that support such claims? We bring together a composer, a pianist, a piano, and a philosopher to explore this question.

Speakers
Nimrod Borenstein, Composer
Adrian Moore, Professor of Philosophy, St Hugh’s College, University of Oxford

Pianist
Clélia Iruzun

Chair
Catherine Audard, Chair, Forum for European Philosophy Fellow; Visiting Fellow, LSE
