We have studied entropy, redundancy, complexity, and first passage times tonotes for 804 pieces of 29 composers. The successful understanding of tonalmusic calls for an experienced listener, as entropy dominates over redundancyin musical messages. First passage times to notes resolve tonality and featurea composer. We also discuss the possible distances in space of musical dicegames and introduced the geodesic distance based on the Riemann structureassociated to the probability vectors (rows of the transition matrices).
