Composing Inspiration

Fortunately we had people like the Beetles and Rap singers to test this theory for us upper-class composers. :P

That's exactly the sort of scraggy that make people think classical musicians are elitist. The Beatles' music has just as much musical value as any classical composer, and considerably more than yours.

I generally come up with an abstract or non-musical concept for a piece, and in the process of translation, inspiration generally comes.

Some things never change here. It's alright for everyone else to make a joke, but all mine are taken literally. :mellow:

Maybe it's because you actually misspelled "Beatles." Or maybe it's because you defended your "joke" when somebody called you out for being asinine, only to rescind after others made you feel like even more of a douche.

And Mark, does that mean you don't like Wagner? Meh, another discussion for another time.

I dislike his views, and I would probably dislike him if I knew him, and I cannot stand most of his music, but that doesn't stop me appreciating him as a brilliant and highly influencial composer.

Most of the time my inspirations come from things that are taking place in my life. Mostly though its me writing part of my novel and i figure out something musically that would compliment it really well.
