‘The most important thing is to feel you are writing the best music you possibly can. But it’s nice to be busy (but not too busy), to be valued by your peers, and to be appreciated by your audience too.’
Francis Pott, composer & pianist
The sense that people you respect and care about are straining every sinew for the sake of your compositional efforts and their realisation is a uniquely humbling experience. At times it has made the music seem to stare back at me, externalised and somehow become ‘other’.
