Usually people think that it is the musicians who create the music, but in fact it is music who creates the musicians.

Expectation closes the door to what is happening in the moment.

However, in modern conceptual frameworks there is a more sophisticated view. I would say that the act of music exists in several worlds simultaneously.

If a professional musician in a symphony orchestra is playing Beethoven. But this particular orchestra have played this particular chestnut so many times, they can play it in their sleep. Does the genius remain present in the music or not?

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

In terms of an identity, an identity reflects an individuality, by definition. And, if there is a quality present, it is recognizable and it can be named. If you can't name it, it means you don't recognize it.

The science is in knowing; the art in perceiving.
