If my work is accepted, I must move on to the point where it is not.
I like being moved. I don't like being pushed.
Get yourself out of whatever cage you find yourself in.
A finished work is exactly that, requires resurrection.
I remember loving sound before I ever took a music lesson. And so we make our lives by what we love.
Composing for the prepared piano is not a criticism of the instrument. I'm only being practical.
