'These shifting and confused gusts of memory never lasted for more than a few seconds; it often happened that, in my spell of uncertainty as to where I was, I did not distinguish the successive theories of which that uncertainty was composed any more than, when we watch a horse running, we isolate the successive positions of its body as they appear upon a bioscope.' marcel proust

Also, I do believe Glass, along with Rzewski, and Part, did not want to be mindless sheep themselves, for what would it matter if they composed in the Style of Bach, Stockhausen, or even Rachamaninoff? All they would find is limitation. That is why they are not conformists to the so-called norm. If we stuck with Bach, music would've been dead by the end of the 18th century, becoming monotonous. It is one thing to be taught, but there comes a point which transforms listening into composing music.

I don't mind Xenakis, Stockhausen, or Messiaen for that matter. However, I find more emotion in minimalist works such as Glass or Arvo Part, or John Taverner. What I love about Minimalism is that the emotion is not there, the work must be Deconstructed and applied to your human Being. It has no meaning unless you put meaning to it. Most of music has a pre-set meaning and interpretation, from Haendel to Xenakis. Minimalism is an interesting style, for you get out as much as you put in.
