No, no, you misunderstand me. I wasn't trying to insult you,
Ah, but it's you who misunderstands me. I didn't think you were
trying to insult me, or commenting about me. I was just pointing out
that self-expression without competence isn't terribly rewarding, at
least for anyone other than the self-expresser.
I agree with that. With a BIG PROVISO- self-expression without competence
is JUST NOT POSSIBLE, at least has not been observed in the wild (and don't
try to invoke Th. Monk).
And Karamazov is supremely competent: his bizarre antics are absolutely
meaningful and justified musically.
