((60) Keep your knives sharp! Laboring with a dull knife’s edge is like having to think hard with bad ideas. (61) Essential Art? The question of which musical body we consider primary— that of the large orchestra or the small intrumental ensemble or soloist— is related to the similar question in literature of which form we see as more important— the full-length novel or the shorter poem. In both cases, I would argue for the latter. This is perhaps especially so in times of metaphysical crisis such as the current era, because economy of means allows for, and strongly encourages, both the cleaning up of waste and contradiction, as well as the clarification of essence.
