 Indeed, this particular MDG allows a non-professional musician to generate (``compose") as nearly as 35.7 octillions of unique minuet-trios (more precisely, $$(11^{14})\times(10^2)\times(6^{14}\times 4\times 3) = 35,710,533,929,214,947,279,418,163,200;$$ see additional explanation in Subsection ~\ref{tableFind}).\\  
 
-A {\it Musikalisches W\"{u}rfelspiel} (German for ``musical dice game" or MDG) is a system for randomly ``generating" (e.g., by using a die or two dice) musical compositions from precomposed options and was quite popular throughout Western Europe in the 18th century.  The earliest known MDG is Johann Philipp Kirnberger's {\em Der allezeit fertige Menuetten und Polonaisencomponist (1st ed.\ 1757; rev.\ 2nd ed.\ 1783)} (translated from German as ``The Ever-Ready Minuet and Polonaise Composer").  Other well-known composers that are to known to have composed a MDG are C.P.E.\ Bach ({\em Einfall, einen doppelten Contrapunct in der Octave von sechs Tacten zu machen, ohne die Regeln davon zu wissen (1758)}; translated from German as ``A method for making six bars of double counterpoint at the octave without knowing the rules") and {\it Musikalisches W\"{u}rfelspiel K. 516f (1787)}, the most famous of MDGs, that was first published by J.J. Hummel in 1793 in Berlin, and was republished in 1796 by Nikolaus Simrock in Bonn (as K. 294d or K. Anh. C 30.01). Simrock attributed this work, which is also known under the title of {\em Anleitung zum Componieren von Walzern so viele man will vermittelst zweier Würfel, ohne etwas von der Musik oder Composition zu verstehen} (German for ``Instructions for the composition of as many waltzes as one desires with two dice, without understanding anything about music or composition"), to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and it may have been based on Mozart's manuscript {\em K.\ 516f}, written in 1787, consisting of numerous two-bar fragments of music, that appear to be some kind of game or system for constructing music out of two-bar fragments, but contains no instructions nor hints as to the use of dice.

 The MDG featured in this book, {\em Table pour composer des minuets et des Trios \`{a} la infinie; avec deux dez \`{a} jouer} (translated from French as  ``A table for composing minuets and trios to infinity, by playing with two dice") was first published in Germany by Abb\'{e} Maximillian Stadler in 1780. A highly similar edition was later published in Italy with the title given above by Luigi Marescalchi.  From here onwards, we simply refer to this MDG as {\em Gioco Filarmonico}.  \\
 
-This book is a collection of 50 MDG minuets generated according to the rules given in an arrangement of {\it Gioco Filarmonico} for two violins (or two flutes) and a bass that were also published by L. Marescalchi in Italy.  The scores of the generated minuets, that were initially written using the \texttt{abc} environment of Chris Walshaw, were converted to Scalar Vector Graphics (SVG) images (with corresponding MIDIs) using {\tt abcm2ps} and {\tt abcmidi}, and were then pre-processed with Inkscape to be included in \LaTeX\ to produce this book.

 The table given here (Table~\ref{fig:0tab1}) combines the two (2) tables, given on page 2 of {\it Gioco Filarmonico} but the contents are exactly as given there.  The leftmost column contains the possible two-dice outcomes while the topmost row contains the bar numbers (16 in all) for the MDG minuet-to-be-generated. \\
 
-Although the body of Table~\ref{fig:0tab1} includes $11\times 16 = 176$ measure numbers, the Table of Measures for Minuets (Figures~\ref{fig:meas1} to \ref{fig:meas4}) contains only 174 different measures.  This is so since in Table~\ref{fig:0tab1}, although 11 choices are listed below each column, two choices under bar 8 (choices 30 and 123) and also under bar 16 (choices 151 and 172)) lead to identical notes in the Table of Measures for Minuets, so that only 10 different bars are under each of these two (2) columns. Consequently, the total number of different measures for minuets is $11\times 14 + 10 + 10 = 174$. These also explain why the total number of unique minuets that can be produced is about 38 quadrillion), more precisely $$11^{14} \times 10 \times 10 = 37,974,983,358,324,100,$$ instead of $11^{16}$, which is the total number of minuets up to two-dice outcomes. \\
