My only reason for being a composer

General Discussion

As for a composition I have made, I have yet to fully perfect one. I was in the process of beginning to learn how to compose.
At this point I can't think of any composer who has made the "perfect" composition, but they publish anyhow and then work from the criticism they receive to improve the next one. The closest I know of is the first movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40. A pretty hard-to-beat combination of symmetric form with emotional resonance, which are often at odds. I don't think it's strange for a young composer to not want to share their stuff right away. It's perfectly natural. But, to be a composer, one has to share music with others - that has to happen eventually. My advice is to keep writing music, and get really, really good at playing some instrument. Every good composer in history was also a good musician on some instrument. That's a huge part of how they develop their musical vocabulary.
