I'm sorry, and I have a feeling that many of you going to start throwing oversized boulders and flaming torches at me for this, but I can't stand mozart. Or glass for that matter.
Math isn't random on it's own... but the way the Schoenberg used it was to create randomness. He was purposely trying to avoid any sort of tonal structure, and avoid all conventional forms of music, essentially being "as random as possible."

Also... I hate Mozart as well. He's far to frilly for my tastes. The only work of his that I like, the Requiem Mass in D Minor, wasn't even completed by him...
