.

   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. Improvisation is the act of composing during the performance, assembling musical elements spontaneously.


   The composition of a work is generally called its musical form.  These techniques draw a parallel to art's formal elementsSometimes, the entire form of a piece is through-composed,  meaning that each part is different,  with no repetition of sections;  Other forms include strophic, rondo, verse-chorus, or other parts. Some pieces are composed around a set scale,  where the compositional technique might be considered the usage of a particular scales.

 
  
Others are composed during performance (see improvisation),  where a variety of techniques are also sometimes used.   Some are used from particular songs which are familiar.

Music  Composition  Quotations

 
 

Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction,
that is my secret  -  J.S. Bach

 

It is the duty of the composer to serve his fellow man, to beautify human life
and point the way to a radiant future. Such is the immutable code of the artist
as I see it 
  -  Sergei Prokofiev
 

We hide ourselves in our music to reveal ourselves  -  Jim Morrison
 

It is proportion that beautifies everything, the whole universe consists of it,
and music is measured by it 
  -  Orlando Gibbons

 

The real authenticity we recognize is when the person is totally involved.
If the art is created with the whole person, then the work will come out
whole 
  -  Stephen Nachmanovitch
 

Originality is the art of concealing your source
 

The unconscious is the womb of all musical creation; all masterpieces are
born there.

 

A creative artist works on his next composition because he is not satisfied
with his previous one. 

 

When he loses a critical attitude towards his own work,
he ceases to be an artist..
