There's many ways to write music, but possibly one of the most interesting movements in history was the Musikalishes Würfelspiel, or musical dice game, a fad that swept through Europe during the Enlightenment where simple dice and charts could allow anyone to be a composer. They've fallen out of fashion in the centuries since, but they're a fascinating part of musical history, and I think it's high time they made a comeback!
