Mozart had a dice game to create minuets.

Your question is tricky because you haven't mentioned anything about time signatures or length of time for each note, nor how many octaves you want to work with.

A regular piano has 88 keys.

So, 88 notes with a 32 note length sequence (with fixed times etc) means 88 ^ 32 or 1.6728057e+62.



Leave the octave and think about the 7 notes. Basic notes, A,B,C,D,E,F and G and probably flats/sharps associated to those.

You said 88 keys = 88 notes but they are just same basic notes,one of those 7 +sharp/flat.


12 ^ 32 = 3.4182189e+34
