To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So I m taking a little breather at this moment. 139 I ve been composing quite constantly and steadily through the last several years and I feel it s kind of nice to relax for a while, but I know that very soon I ll be getting very antsy if I don t get back to composing again. Funny thing about being a composer is that you never feel rested because if you relax for a moment and you don t compose, then you begin to feel guilty because you re not composing. It s one of these--! don t know what you... call it. What is the word that you use in such circumstances- -it s something that you have to do. Crawford: It s a compulsion. Imbrie: Compulsion. It s a compulsion. Yes, you have to do it. Crawford: Are you at ease simply working on it in your mind? Imbrie: Well, I used be a pianist once upon a time [laughter] and as I ve said, I enjoy punching the keys and making noise. That stimulates me and I tend to do my work at the piano. Other people can t see it that way. I know that Roger Sessions could never understand that because although he played the piano quite well, he was not really a pianist.
