Extract

‘The desire to create’, wrote Copland, ‘is the basic need to make evident one's deepest feelings about life’. This aspiration to use art for self-expression, or even self-discovery, is universal amongst composers, but is always accompanied by the danger that the subject matter ends up too close to the composer's psyche, leading to a self-indulgence in the music.
