The Spirit of the Muse is an illuminating series of intimate conversations with some of the greatest contemporary classical performers, artists and writers. Presented in this unique collection are rare insights into the creative process and responses to questions such as: Does great personal suffering help produce great art? What are the internal processes that precede the surrender to the moment(s) of creativity? How does one balance the imperatives of structure with spontaneity? What is the ro...le of an audience for an artist? How does he or she respond to critics and criticism? Is it useful to be a 'good' human being to be a 'good' artist? Does the creation of an enduring work of art compensate for a fear or mortality?
