Treatise is a composition by British author Cornelius Cardew, created between 1963 and 1967. The work was written in "graphic" scores, composed of abstract geometric shapes, point and line, with unconventional infrequent use of common notational symbols. A few years after the completion of work on the realization of Cardew accepted Maoist ideas that, in his interpretation, were not in line with the neo-avant-garde tendencies of the sixties, and most complete (self-) criticism of this work was published in his collection of articles titled "Stockhausen serves imperialism" (Latimer New Dimensions, Berlin, 1974).

Cornelius Cardew (1936-1981) was a British composer and one of the founders of the famous Scratch Orchestra (Scratch Orchestra), a specialized ensemble for the performance of the neo-avant-garde composition and improvisation in the tradition of Western European art music practice. During the seventies, Cardew was almost completely revised its poetic and aesthetic point of view, radically politicizing art form in accordance with his idea of ​People's Liberation Music. In 1966, Cardew joined the already affirmed group AMM, dedicated to improvised music, and two years later, together with Howard Skempton and Michael Parsons, founded ensemble the Scratch Orchestra. After 1972 Cardew was dedicated to his political career, first as a member of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of England and later as one of the founders and a member of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party of England. His works in this period were close to the ideas of socialist realism and almost exclusively have been linked to a specific social event (strikes, riots, labor activism), with a strong emphasis on verbal or literary messages with the reduction of musical means of expression.

Cornelius Cardew was killed on 13 December 1981 in the assassination. The attacker was never found, and there are suspicions that the murder is connected with the state, namely the security service MI5, which was similarly treated and in the case of other communist activists.
