He brings it to light how the craftsmanship and skill is just as important as to music and composers. he compares both amazingly, my favorite part when he says "The sounds produced by the performer at the piano correspond to the articles produced by the craftsman, while the musical score, the creation of which demands truest invention and greatest constructive imagination, passes from hand to hand in printed or written form just as the engraved and drawn designs for craftsmen did in former years prior to the invention of photographic process reproduction."

Labels Help You Organize All blog posts must be labeled with two keywords, which blogger calls Labels. When faculty visits your blog for evaluation purposes, we will use the labels to quickly find your work. If you do not use the keywords properly, we will not be able to find your work.  Proper set-up and maintenance of your blog falls under the Research and Participation part of your grade which counts for 30% of the overall semester grade.  Topical Keywords The first set of keywords correspond to the module we are working in. We will refer to these as topical keywords since they correspond to the topic we are exploring over the two-week periods. Your first group of posts will be labeled under  Topic: Creative Impulse  since this is the first topic (Topic #1). Here are the topical keywords you will use through out the semester: Topic: Creative Impulse Topic: Pattern and Ornament Topic: Rhinoceros Topic: Narrative Topic: Lands...
