A great article by Stephen Hough on the importance of at least trying to compose.
Just remember that the first thing you write will probably not be very good. Things will get better if you keep trying. I have plenty of embarrassing compositions hidden away (some very recent) and a few decent ones that I don't hide. Some would say that all of my compositions are embarrassing. They are, of course, entitled to their opinion. I learned something from all of them, though.
We need to revive the lost art of composition, says Stephen Hough | Classical and opera | Guardian Unlimited Music
