However, for the composer, each and every minute compositional decision has the potential for enormity. In making such decisions, I reject many other solutions, and I do so on the basis that the final choice is in some way b etter. Even an inclusive, collage-based piece will involve such discrimination. There is no equivalence in the creation of art, it is ruthlessly hierarchical. To the extent that cultural policy appears to demand a sense of equivalence from art, there is a conflict between the work and its context.
Art struggles for liberty and there can be no equivalence in that struggle.
