Pack of cards

this is post 52 and corresponds to the standard number of cards in a deck.
Music is played on thousans of decks all over the world every weekend.
music is also easy to play using cards. aces represent pauses. one sets the key for the melody and reads it out if there are obvious exceptions to the key then you use another table to check for how to interpret the following notes.

There are many such methods for inciting some extra ideas for composition.

I like to see composition as an allegory to a relationship (marriage, or artistic sysgy). It would be interesting if someone would interpret their life realtionship as a symphony or dance.

Dances are physical efforts to generate and express joy unlike games of chance. Poker has three important rules:
  1. Know the odds of your hand
  2. Know the odds for others
  3. Know the odds from past hands
