Knowing the Score: Music and Electronic Media
Advent Semester 1999

"Notation, the writing out of compositions, is primarily an ingenious expedient for catching an inspiration, with the purpose of exploiting it later. But notation is to improvisation as the portrait to the living model. It is for the interpreter to resolve the rigidity of the signs into the primitive emotion."

-from Ferruccio Busoni (Sketch of a New Aesthetic of Music)
