Music Composition

The Essentials

.
.

..Music Composition @ Wikipedia , The Free Encyclopedia

...A piece of music exists in the form of a written composition in musical notation or as a single acoustic
event (a live performance or recorded track). If composed before being performed, music can be performed
from memory, through written musical notation, or through a combination of both. Compositions comprise musical elements, which vary widely from person to person and between cultures. Improvi - sation is the
act of composing immediately before or during the performance, assembling musical elements
"spontaneously and eruptedly."

Composers As Performers

Composers have their own ideas about the performance of their own works. They often find themselves

It's worth noting that composers are so busy creating music. When a gifted musician offers to perform a new work , it can be pure joy. Then, there is always that matter of interpretation. A composer might believe that his / her work explains itself by its notation. In reality , a piece of music is a virtual life .
The performer needs creative lattitude to feel the life and flow of your piece.
