Reviews
I stopped reading when the first sentence was 'composing is the highest calling for a musician, improvisation and performance always come second'. I disagree. Improvising is a form of spontaneous composition. What a stupid comment to make. Very presumptuous statement which is not backed up by any real proof. I hate it when musical theory books start with sweeping assumptions like that. I couldn't read any more.
