music for thought
When Shostakovich was speaking to the Keller Quartet about how to play his chamber piece Music For Thought, he instructed them to, "...play it so that flies drop dead in the air and the audience leaves the hall from sheer boredom."
That's what I strive for in my live music, if that's what it indeed is, music I mean, as well! I want to reach that introspective point where those who are willing to go the whole way with me stay, and those who are bored simply leave.
