#38 Are musicians like artisans? How do artisans work? Starting from an existing composition (a Chopin Prelude) I guide you through the creative process of an entirely new - and unplanned - short musical work. An opportunity to look at the strategies, the choices, the stumbling-retrying, and the motivations that lead the way towards the creation of a final piece.
