Mimi responds to me:
>>Regardless of where this feeling is coming from, the significant thing
>>to me is that the composer feel the emotion at the time of composition.

>Which time of composition? When the idea first hits... When it is being
>worked on in a contrapuntal way... When it comes up as material later
>reworked and used in a different form... When it is rearranged... What
>time frame are we talking about for this emotional feeling?
It must be nit-picking time. I'd say that the emotion would be felt during
the creative process, and when that takes place for different individuals,
I have no idea.
>Raw emotions you want?... Music is more than those raw sounds. That's
>what makes it art, and makes it memorable... It takes the talent,
>experience and discipline of a great composer to make music that's
>lasting and meaningful.
I don't know why Mimi is going off on this tangent. I never said that
"emotion" was the only ingredient for great music; that would be one dumb
statement. As Mimi indicated, there are a combination of factors at work
which result in a masterful piece of music, and I think that emotion is one
of them.
