Perhaps originality is something bestowed on a composer by critics and academics, the same ones who delineate stylistic periods after the fact. Composers are pragmatic artists. Our main concern is making our works work, not starting trends. Even if we wanted to we could not start a trend. We don't have that power.1 point
