Games of chance have inspired compositions in a number of ways: as a plot element, as in Stravinsky's "Soldier's Tale", as the basis of the musical texture, as in Josquin des Préz's "Dice Mass", or as a constantly reconstituting element, as in Mozart's "Musical Dice Games", in which the groups of bars to be played are actually thrown out each time. Following on from the new production of PIQUE DAME, the 3rd Tischlereikonzert is dedicated to this playful connection through the centuries from the Renaissance to the present day.
