Yes... [CW]

Adding to what I wrote, and ignoring how Plato distinguishes between *art*
(techne) and *craft* (empeiria), there's Weber on equal temperament and the
orchestra. (Or Cage on the orchestra, for that matter.)
And the serialism of the fifties, I would argue: the idea of total control.
Just another snap at the same bunch of grapes...
