This guy is reaching an audience and undoubtedly delivering art at the same time. johnsrude@peak.org wrote: > Art is when I create music in my studio. In private.

I'd say the opposite: Art is not that what we produce at home without audience, the term art only makes sense within a context of an audience. And that means if we want to give something to the audience, we must not ignore them. But art is not about entertainment, though it could be entertaining... Performance is a special social experience with high risks and even more fun...;-) > Which is the better path? I don't know, but I think I choose Mozart. There is no better path than my own path and its neither Mozart nor Beethoven...
