Do You Edit Your Compositions?
I’ve just read an interesting article on Rob Paterson’s blog, entitled ‘There Are Two Types Of Composers‘.
This got me thinking about my own work as a composer. I definitely fall into the ‘write it, forget about it’ category. Don’t know why, but composing for moving pictures is such a rushed occupation and I always feel pleased to finally finish a composition.
Move on!
Are you a composer?
How much revision do you undertake?
Do you ever revisit your masterpieces and make them better?

Thanks Alan, this is interesting. I agree: writing for film is different, and I haven’t revised everything I’ve written by any means, just a few pieces. Perhaps it also has something to do with details?
