Compositions

The artist doesn't do anything that others think is beautiful but that,

what is necessary for him.

Arnold Schoenberg

The musically creative artist is a constant observer, with an eye for what is noteworthy, what he believes is valuable.

This treasure can lie in the simplest and most humble things. A natural sound, the feeling when looking at a landscape, or perceiving a bird's melody.

At this point I would like to Igor Stravinsky quote. He writes in his musical poetics: "A composer preludes like an animal burrows. Both do this out of the urge to search. What drives the composer to do this? He is looking for a satisfaction that he knows he cannot achieve without precedent effort. The function of the creator is to sift out the elements that the imagination brings to him, because human activity must impose its own limits. The more art is controlled, limited and worked, the freer it is ."

In other words: create clarity in thinking by selecting and limiting the means available. Sort, organize, concentrate, let go... Art happens in discussion, in peace and at a distance. The better I master my craft, the freer I become in presenting it.

The compositional work is far from any inspiration. Inspiration is part of the invention, which presupposes the idea. But not every idea is implemented. Inspiration arises while working. When composing, playing or in the studio. It comes unexpectedly and contains an accidental find. Coincidence cannot be created. He comes to inspire us. He is the real inspiration.

He ultimately completes the work.

In 1912 the artists published Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc the Art AlmanacThe blue Rider. He will have a decisive influence on modern art in Germany and the rest of Europe. He writes here

Russian composer

Thomas de Hartmann:

"External laws do not exist. Everything that the inner voice does not resist is permitted. And so in art in general and in music in particular, every means that arises from inner necessity is correct. The composer wants that express what the will of his inner intuition is at the moment. The correspondence of the means of expression with the inner necessity is the essence of the beauty of a work."
