I think the time is ripe to bring up this subject, which was broached on another thread earlier.

I believe so, but I'm curious whether this seemingly universal truth is even in dispute. Are there boundaries to creative freedom, are there nuances?

I'm interested in your opinion.

NOBODY DISPUTED THIS.

You only brought this scraggy up because the other thread was closed, but NOBODY expressed that opinion in it except YOU.

Jesus, stop the nonsense already. We know you're itching for an argument, but this isn't the way to do it.

PS: Speaking of which, if anyone DOES dispute it, I will personally punch them myself.

Would you care to elaborate on the boundaries and nuances, if any?

There's nothing to elaborate!

Beyond the troll or two, nobody will dispute that you're free to write whatever you want. What the hell?

If we're doing this, might as well open a thread titled "Do you guys like music?" and other such amazing insightful questions.

Creative freedom is an actualized artistic ethic to which a composer should aspire (key word), so I vote yes. The only conflict arises in the varying degrees of cultural information and existing work/study which may or may not inform the artist's choices, via personal taste or indoctrination. I think the latter does a lot more to inhibit any sense of goals within the scope of one's sense of personal freedom, but like all cultural information, we are, naturally, free to mature and emphasis or discard any components which are found to be helpful, or not. I can't see any reason to say no to this. But, hey, if anyone here is against creative freedom, they're likely to find other individuals somewhere on this planet who feel the same way - I strongly suspect they will not be on the majority, or really the relevant side of things....Only an informed guess though...

A sensible response. Congratulations, you have managed to not be a royal bumhole.

Well then you obviously don't believe in creative freedom, so punch yourself in the face and give yourself another from me!
