Art and human nature XVI

Abstract

The ability to create something and to pass it to the future generations is a feature that characterizes our species. Creativity is ultimately a result of increasing connectivity, both at individual level (brain) and group (social). Arnold Schönberg, whose creativity revolutionized the conception of Western musical composition, he did it precisely based on the principle of creativity: connectivity, as he gave priority to the relationship between tones (atonal music) over the preponderance of a tone on the others (tonal music)
