Short answer: never. To me, music (and art) is a form of person-to-person expression. I have played music, and that experience is an awesome connection with the composer. I can imagine the composer playing the same very notes (better, of course), and that auditory, tactile and visual experience transports me into the composer's life. Most striking was when the power went out in the Bay, and I played by candlelight, like those old-timers did. Things that can be tolerated or even enjoyed superficially are, well, superficial. Bach was accused of being "mental", even algorithmic, but he had some very powerful self-expression in his works. And let's not talk 12-tone. That's just tightly constrained, which in engineering can lead to breakthroughs, but I can't comment on how that plays out in music. I just don't have the experience to say. |

All art is creativity expressed under constraints.
