A complicated composition
"This piece is filled with morecomplicationthan I could ever haveconceivedofcomposing." Said thecomposerto the newspaper journalist. "You see, the song iscomprisedof a variety of separate elements that areconcealedwithin the song. Iconcedethat they may be hard to detect in the beginning, but like aconcavebowl, with everything gathered together in the middle that you can only understand when you come out. You understand in the end as they arecompoundedin such a manner so that theycomplimenteach other in a beautiful andcompulsoryfinale."
"Yes, I have heard your explanation before, Maestro." Responded the journalist in a kind manner. "And we honor your reputation greatly. But others just cannotcomprehendthis piece of music that you have written! They say that you havecompresseda mix ofcomponentsfrom other well-known songs. For them it is notconceivablethat there is any order, form or pattern. They say that you havecompromisedthe art form and that there should be somecompulsionfor you tocomplywith demands for your withdrawal of this song from the public arena!"
"There may be somecompressionpresent. I agree." Defended the composer. "But it is beyond mycomprehensionwhy I should remove this piece of art from the public's ear!"
"Well Maestro, it's the public that is having the problem with your song! No one likes it. No one understands it! So no one wants to listen to it!"

复杂的音乐作品

“这部作品比我能够想像的创作要复杂得多。”作曲家对报社记者说，“你看，这首歌由多种不同的元素组成，而且这些元素都隐藏在歌曲中。我承认，人们开始可能很难察觉，然而它们就像一只凹形的碗一样，所有的东西都集中在中间，你只有出来的时候才能了解。你最终会了解到所有东西混合在一起，相互映衬，构成一首优美而必须有的终曲。”
“是的，大师，我以前听过你的解释。”记者友善地回答道，“我们很尊重您的名声。可是别人就是没法理解您写的这首曲子。他们说，您不过是把其他名曲中的组成部分拿过来压缩到了您的作品中。他们想像不出您这首曲子有任何规律、模式或者风格，他们认为您损害了艺术形式，应该采取些强制措施让您遵从人们的要求，从公共场合把您的这首曲子撤出去!”
“作品中或许存在压缩成分，我同意这种说法。”作曲家辩解道，“可我不理解为什么我不能让公众听这首曲子。”
“大师，是观众觉得您的曲子有问题!没人喜欢它，没人听得懂，所以没人愿意听!”
