From the outside looking in
Article Abstract:
The recently published autobiography of German composer Hans Werner Henze is a very significant work. Entitled 'Bohemian Fifths,' the book gives a fascinating insight into the development of his musical stance. It indicates how he came to feel that art must be action, which led to his growing involvement in politics, and provides a narrative of the fate of the Romantic spirit in a time of cultural change and political instability. The book has a fevered, almost surreal undertone.

So where does music really come from?
Article Abstract:
Inspiration plays an important role in the process of composing music. However, there are also other factors involved, including luck, skill and problem-solving. The composer's training and musical tastes are inevitably part of the composition process. For many composers, routine is very important, and they develop the ability to control and mould their inspiration in a very structured way.
