I think the creativity must be shared with the composer, but the
skill is the interpretation
of the pianist.

I know it's dangerous to compare the arts, but today I heard the
astonishing pianist, Simon Trpceski. I saw his hands move like
birds' wings. I saw his body sway and lean and sweat as though
posessed as he played Tchaikovsky. As Pollock once retorted that
he "was nature" so did Trpceski seem to be the music. And his
genius comes alive through skill. What could he do without his
skill? He might lean and sway but he would not play as he
does...and bring the whole audience to its feet for more than ten
minutes of applause and cheers. What do we make of this when we
see the visual arts purposely "deskilled" today? When we routinely
dismiss skill as being the least of the aesthetic concerns what are
we doing?
I don't know. Although "for every loss there is a gain" there is
no guarantee that they are equal.

Of course, I mean experiences from life and other possible
places
that my body or mind has digested and freely are expressed
in my art,
Including skills that I make it satisfieing, to me

l may agree with an element of what you're saying,
and I think few
of the
creators on the forum would disagree. There have been
a couple of
areas in my
life when I've had moments of "clever
skill" -- as a book
publisher, in a
non-fiction book I wrote, and even, say I, a few
moments in
philosophy. But
nothing
else has "done it for me" like writing
plays.
Whether or not that alleged "creativity"
comes more from my "inner
being" is
a bit too obscure for me to remark on.
