  Aleatoric music
Aleatoric (or aleatory) music or composition, is music where some element of the composition is left to chance.
One of the earliest aleatoric compositions was the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Musikalisches Würfelspiel or Musical Dice Game, which consisted of a set of musical measures and a procedure for selecting them based on the throwing of a number of dice.
The invention of contemporary aleatoric music is usually credited to John Cage, although similar compositional ideas were explored by Henry Brant around the same time.

 Aleatoric music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aleatoric music (or aleatory) is music in which some element of the composition is left to chance or some primary element of a composed work's realization is left to the determination of its performer(s).
Among examples of aleatory music, Klavierstück XI by Karlheinz Stockhausen features a number of elements to be performed in changing sequences, certain orchestral works of Witold Lutosławski contain music where the orchestral ensemble is not precisely dictated, and in some works by Krzysztof Penderecki characteristic sequences are repeated quickly, producing a kind of oscillating sound.
Douglas Hofstadter, writing in Gödel, Escher, Bach, thus punningly characterises some of the musical compositions of John Cage by using the acronym CAGE to stand for Composition of Aleatorically Generated Elements, in contrast to a Beautiful Aperiodic Crystal of Harmony (or BACH).
