Often, I remember a comment from a great teacher of composition, an incredible woman, about the position and attitude are assuming composers through time. Gesture, she described the transition from a lowly position, to another bloated ego. I believe also, that she told me, without saying so that it is impossible to express something genuine, and for that reason, many talents are lost in the resemblance, in the mold, in stereotypes. Even the music composers who are supposed to lead, can fall into those stereotypes. Though it may seem trite to say, the creative person should assume that some of the work of creation is to be able to stay as humble as possible. Thus, I believe, the tree of the ego, can not hide the forest of creativity.
