ABSTRACT

Any musical activity can be considered as creative since it encompasses an act of production of sound from silence. The best example of creativity in music is certainly musical composition. In general, composition may be described as the art of organizing sounds that by themselves do not have clear semantic associations in an original way that acquires or induces meaning either or both for the composer and the listener. As Schoenberg affirmed: “without organization music would be an amorphous mass, as unintelligible as an essay without punctuation, or as disconnected as a conversation which leaps purposelessly from one subject to another” (Schoenberg, 1967, p. 1).
