This article traces the main theoretical junctures through which the relation between art and nature evolved; it covers a wide time span ranging from the clas- sical world to some of the most significant moments in contemporary scholarship. More specifically, it takes examines the view of music as a form of Art through which the peculiar nature of sound reveals the limits of the traditional ideal of the imitation of nature, helping to overcome it. In the light of some extraordinary creative opportunities and performative options now made available by technolo- gical progress, it is possible, specifically through music, to envision a more harmo- nic and apt relationship between man, nature and the universe, while rethinking technology and its role.
