Swan Lake as You’ve Never Seen it Before
My wife came across this video of a Swan Lake presentation that is a must see!
I am amazed that these dancers have achieved the ability to move in ways that I would not have even considered (not that I am by any means a very well trained dancer).
This reminds me again of the value of consistent practice in any endeavor. Clearly, these dancers have put in a great deal of work and have probably been dancing their entire lives.
Similarly, any performing musician worth their salt is the result of a great deal of practice.
What makes young composers think that they are somehow exempt from this? Is there something I am missing? I don’t think so…
There seem to be 3 general components that go into making a great composer
- High levels of creativity, i.e. the capacity for, or state of, bringing something into being
- An incredibly large mental library of music by great composers
- Continuous practice and hard work
Can you doubt the results of the hard work from these dancers?
