Even before the curtain rises, one can recognise the pianist---the percussionist. Each note has a life of its own, slightly displaced in time and clearly articulated. It is this recognition of the individuality of each note note that makes their union an emergent experience. The notes collaborate because they want to, not because they have been straightjacketed into submission by rules or technology.
