Today each composer is not only involved in aesthetics, but he's actually trying to create his own language.
No, I think that a person writes a poem because they have an inner urge of something that they want to express, and I think it's that inner urge that you want to express when you write a piece of music.
I think there have been some periods when the writing almost became a bit of a burden.
Improvisation is terribly haphazard.
