第二节阅读理解
A
In the middle of a hot July afternoon, when the wet air came with slight waves of heat, I became a thief of some sort—a thief of music.
For the first time, I had created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Not once had I looked for the help of premade sheet music or video cours on YouTube. Using only my ears and iPod, I had changed a mix of different sounds and complex melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I had created complex harmonies and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide: I had done it on my own.
I’ve been a pianist since before my hands were big enough to reach an octave(八度音节): with a musician and compor for a father, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in centuries past.
This was why, when I added the finishing touches to my piano version(版本) of a modern rock song, I was proud of mylf: this arrangement was mine. What I’d d one emed magical: an ability to take what had already existed—to “steal” a song from my favorite band—and to change it into something different and all my own. I was a thief, but I was also an artist.
In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has, in one form or another, been done before. The most romance novel may very well be a slightly changed version of a play by Shakespeare, which is likely to be borrowed from the works of Ancient Greece: same themes, different characters, different circumstances. But, the novel is no less derving of prai just becau its uniqueness is compromid. Adaptation is not a synonym for failure.
The gift of creativity is the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find something beautiful, to analyze and twist it and lo yourlf in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength a
nd the innovation(创新) to u it as fuel for your own masterpiece. The world is nothing more than collections of preexisting parts—scattered and often lost in the chaos of everyday life. I believe it is my job, as an artist, to rearrange this world into what I envision it to be.
I refu to live as if I were trapped within the walls of a muum: looking but never touching, afraid to ruin the so-called perfection of the artifacts inside.
Therefore, I will embrace my ability to be a thief, becau if I don’t steal what the world has to offer, I’ll never have the tools to share with others a creation of my own.
