<p>When I was seventeen years old I took lessons from the marvellous pianist Fania Chapiro. I had to study a piece from Bartók's Microcosmos in which the left hand was notated in four flats and the right hand in four sharps, or vice versa. </p>

<p>Later on I changed notes in other people's music on purpose -particularly highly respectable colleagues from the past. Improving on, and messing about with, the music of others is a good thing, because music is the domain of freedom and freedom should be abused whenever possible. </p>

<p>Copy? Why not. Repeat yourself? Also fine. Our brains are equipped with a wonderful capacity: the capacity to make mistakes. But I cannot copy or repeat my own work, somewhere along the line it goes awry. The pen takes on a will of its own, the notes slither about or they take unexpected turnings. I get myself into unintended situations. Hopefully this kind of estrangement will continue, because that is the best thing that could happen to music. <br>
