Perhaps we will find that some types of composers- the most inspired of all? were those who built their greatest compositions out of their strongest personal emotions. Chopin, the romantic sufferer, distills bitter experience into delicate flowers of musical sensitivity.ĭoes this really explain how music composers work?
