I understand what you mean, it's a sort of "business card," but I am mostly talking about people who, regardless, didn't even want to know about viewing anything; it happened not a few times years ago, and I won't say what I told them to make them turn up their noses (while I was talking to them, and not after their no, let me be clear), otherwise all hell will break loose.

I don't think so, Red. After all, it is a laboratory and therefore it seems like the best place to talk about these things.

I agree with Bianca, we are not OT and besides it is one of the first things I wrote. Presenting a polished score certainly suggests certain choices, perhaps questionable ones, but choices nonetheless. This does not automatically mean that a mediocre piece becomes a masterpiece, but at least there are the prerequisites for a minimum level of evaluation by a performer. In a workshop like this, one tries to make a contribution regardless, but on paper, it might not be worth it from the start. Viewpoints differ: a teacher tends to give a suggestion, while a performer tends to evaluate whether the piece interests them or not and with what investments to realize it.

I renew the metaphor of the compositional project: an impresario may only consider building a property after a series of evaluations that begin on paper.
