How to find musical ideas

How to find musical ideas The Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, said: "A good composer does not imitate, he steals." I think what he meant is that you can use a technique developed by another and do yours. To imitate is to steal a technique or style, and, in some way not to include their voices and energy in all our ideas it.We somewhere, if you happen to listen to a piece of music and storage unconsciously on the margins, or a conscious act where we say to ourselves: "This sounds great and I want to use in my music." Some people have the idea that all creation must be original and, therefore, means that they should not be outside influences - but that is not realistic. Haydn, Beethoven taught. The influence of Italian composers Bach, etc.. All the composers of the past and present of this planet who have the influence or admit not.Now, most of you know that I have two main influences: George Winston and John Herberman. It may or may not know these people. The fact is that I have to admit that formed my style. How? Because I liked to hear. E simple.When that I sit down to play, I inevitably attracted to one way or another. I'm fine with that. This does not mean that I lack originality. It simply means that I am aware of reality and not try to get "something original". What new sounds is 99.9 times out of 100, a modification of what was before.The whole point I'm trying to do is not try to be original. Instead, focus on what is love and love and their voices in the past by the end. That music has changed for the extreme (innovation), or only a little '(free).
