The Western Musical Canon Came About Not Merely By Accumulation, But By Opposition And Subversion, Both To The Ruling Powers On Whom Composers Depended For Their Livelihoods And To Other Musics.

This Was Possible Only By Dint Of Extended Periods Of Frequently Quite Painful Reflection And Digestion.

Hence My Obstinate Emphasis On Stylistic Continuity From Work To Work Rather Than Specific Sibling Relationships Between The Individual Work And Other Members Of Its Stylistic 'family' In The World Outside.

I Frequently Compose Out The Entire Metric Structure Of A Piece In Modified Cyclic Form, Where Each Cyclic Revolution Undergoes Some Form Of 'variation' Much As If Measure Lengths Were Concrete Musical 'material.'

I Don't Like Listening To My Music, Not Even New Pieces. Generally, They Sound Pretty Much Like I Expected Them To Sound, So It's What I Wanted, And That's It.
