On Fame-2

A composer develops his musical ideas into one coherent whole. In a score behind every note and indication lurks a whole universe, as a tone will carry many overtones nestling one after the other. The composer expresses his ideas into parts for so many instruments: wind, string, percussion and brass are all there to bring his work to life . What lies behind a note marked on the score but a world that must move in unison will all other notes? Such worlds in abstraction collide and move as one and lead to several streams of ideas that a listener with varying sensibilities will note. Infinite possibilities a composer thus opens up that it is left to a conductor to bring to life and establish as having captured the musical genius of the composer. In the absence of the original what a conductor can hope is to play as true as possible and stick to the score. A conductor also has to be wary of another danger: any single instrument can spoil the effect. It is the task of the conductor to bring the whole orchestra come alive. Fame of the composer is in the manner each part mixes with every other and require skills of so many all given to perform as one. No mean achievement.
You only interpret a composer according to your life experience and profficiency. In your success it is the composer who is come to life: fame.
