i work from the perspective you describe as the result of practicing a piece, but in more open contexts. it is less playing a piano than it is using a piano to make sculptures in time (a nice phrase that i stole from a collection of tarkovsky's writings on cinema). patterns compose themselves into structures and these structures are the bases for variation----new structures emerge from the activities around previous ones---it is like following a path through a huge garden that you bring into being as you walk through it.
