Mozart's compositional method: Difference between revisions

Mozart's approach to composition: I changed the sentence from one affirming with complete certainty that his approach was "conscious" to one that acknowledges the possibility that his creative process ("experimenting... studying and reflecting") could also involve activities such as improvisation, in a stream-of-conscious way which is more of an intuitive method. It would not necessarily, at least, need to be structured or directed consciously.

==Mozart's approach to composition==
 
A surviving letter of Mozart's to his father [[Leopold Mozart|Leopold]] (31 July 1778) indicates that he considered composition an active process:<blockquote>You know that I plunge myself into music, so to speak—that I think about it all day long—that I like experimenting—studying—reflecting.</blockquote>One cannot quite determine from these words alone whether or not his approach to writing music was an entirelya conscious method, or more inspired and intuitive.
