Abstract

The article studies the influence of The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Logical and Philosophical Treatise) by Ludwig Wittgenstein, an Austrian philosopher of the 20th century, on the works of an English composer Cornelius Cardew, who created a musical composition “Treatise”. The authors of the article show that Wittgenstein sought to fix the relationship between language and reality by defining the limits of science, and Cardew’s musical “Treatise” is a similar attempt to reveal the relationship between language and perception while defining the boundaries of music.
