Tchaikovski: Ooh, my mistake.

Making music (composing, improvising, or playing) is discovery. It's an exploration, a game, an adventure.
But you can end up in dark places. My composition professor locked himself away to finish a commissioned piece, and the isolation and pressure ended in suicide. I still haven't finished the duet I was working on for my class, but also with the hope for us to play it together. That was 20 years ago. I played a little of my part, the other day. Still makes me sad. A duet for guitar and viola. "Melancholy Palindrome" was the title.

The mental health issue is a very real one, especially when trying to get a career going in composing. I spent several years in my 20's composing solo piano music (because I just love the sound of piano), many pieces in all, only to wonder if any of it was any good. I settled on the thought that I was really just writing it for myself and if anyone else liked it great. But that is not a career so I never perused it as a career only a hobby.

J.S. Bach also taught teenagers for a living and had 7+ children in his household for an unbroken stretch of roughly three decades. If you have children and have ever taught teenagers, you know what I am talking about--IT IS EXHAUSTING! Every single day is exhausting! How Bach then had enough energy and mental capacity to become the "Mt. Everest of Classical Music" on top of just trying to make a living like a normal Joe Schmoe with a family in some provincial backwater is astoundingly impressive to me. He is not of this world. He is truly the first and only alien to live among us.
