Abstract: Abstract This chapter gives a prototypical example of mathematical methods that should play a role in musical composition of the future. Mazzola’s sonata is an explicit experiment to understand the mechanisms of mathematically shaped sonata construction and its creative limitations, starting from the analysis of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata Op. 106 to compose a new sonata. This is an example of Boulez’s creative analysis. We then critically review the Boulezian idea and the new composition.
