"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."
