  • Catalogue Essay

    "Darboven creates musical compositions based on mathematical scores, rows of calendar date numerals ( " cross sum calculations of the Century " ), which she then transcribes into music scores then played on organ or violin - a "mathematical" music based on a non-musical logic but with a surprisingly musical beauty to it."

    - Jörg Schellmann, ed., Forty Are Better Than One, Munich/New York, 2009, p. 88
