Resumé
Why do we listen to Mozart, but not Salieri? I address the age-old question of what makes a great composer by using a unique big data approach and by covering thousands of famous and not-so-famous composers. In doing this, I will also shed light on how to identify, measure and enhance creativity. The presentation will be non-technical and I will tell stories to resonate with a broader audience.
