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!"

復雜的音樂作品

“這部作品比我能夠想像的創作要復雜得多。”作曲家對報社記者說，“你看，這首歌由多種不同的元素組成，而且這些元素都隱藏在歌曲中。我承認，人們開始可能很難察覺，然而它們就像一只凹形的碗一樣，所有的東西都集中在中間，你只有出來的時候才能了解。你最終會了解到所有東西混合在一起，相互映襯，構成一首優美而必須有的終曲。”
“是的，大師，我以前聽過你的解釋。”記者友善地回答道，“我們很尊重您的名聲。可是別人就是沒法理解您寫的這首曲子。他們說，您不過是把其他名曲中的組成部分拿過來壓縮到了您的作品中。他們想像不出您這首曲子有任何規律、模式或者風格，他們認為您損害了藝術形式，應該采取些強制措施讓您遵從人們的要求，從公共場合把您的這首曲子撤出去!”
“作品中或許存在壓縮成分，我同意這種說法。”作曲家辯解道，“可我不理解為什么我不能讓公眾聽這首曲子。”
“大師，是觀眾覺得您的曲子有問題!沒人喜歡它，沒人聽得懂，所以沒人愿意聽!”
