The following has been adapted from a message to my sister in a conversation concerning our work as artists.

In our first studio meeting this semester my piano professor asked us why our respective pursuits in music are important- why our work as musicians matters. I didn't end up saying this to her but I realized as I walked out that something many young people fail to realize is that they are utterly unique not only in their personalities but in their works. Yes, a million and one pianists have performed this Beethoven sonata before me, but none of them will play it with the same artistic nuances I choose.

We have a responsibility as artists to embrace the singular nature of our work. You may not create in the same way those who came before you have, but your work is your own. Whether or not your work is "as good" as theirs is immaterial because "good" and "bad" are simply not the correct terms for the evaluation of art. What you do as an artist matters because nobody else has done it before and nobody will do it since. Embrace this and create.
