#41 - Part 2 - What stands in the way of becoming an artist?
What are the challenges that every artist faces? What does it mean, in the end, to be an artist? The book 'Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking' by D. Bayles and T. Orland offers many thought-provoking ideas on the topic. In this two-part episode I will comment on the artist's most relevant creative dilemmas.

#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.
