I'm listening to "Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ" by
Steve Reich. As far as I know, he wasn't born with this piece, and I'm
unsure which part of Nature provided it. Some complex interplay
between what he was born with, his travels, his education, his family
and friends, even the musicians he played with regularly, created this
music. Who has the right to control its expression? Nobody? Just
Steve? Steve for 10 years? Do we put it to a referendum?
