The case of Classical motivic thorough-composition
“Composition of Classical music according to the Italian Renaissance principle of bel canto (‘beautiful singing’), is one of the best examples of mankind’s ability to discover an existing physical principle, and to use that discovery to create new works of science and art, which then increase mankind’s power to build civilization.” An appendix to “The Substance of Morality,” by Lyndon H.

Roosevelt.
