composed. The best composers have always been making up the rules as

classical music is composed using
“rules” that relate to the harmonic properties of musical sound.
After the early 20th century, when 12-tone composition was seen to be
moving
beyond the traditional constraints imposed by those harmonic
properties,
composers had to make up their own rules. Igor Stravinsky (who composed
during
an era when the “old rules” had been largely discredited)
apparently once said that he had to invent his own rules (or set his
own
boundaries, if you will) in order to compose. The boundaries might
change with
every new composition, but without boundaries he could not find
creativity. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font></p>

observations of what seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they
are
descriptive as opposed to descriptive – You could say it is all a joke.
Rather like “technology” in the phrase Open Space Technology. The
joke, however turned out to be outrageously funny – because somehow or
another truth broke through. We are in serious trouble! Everybody knows
that
what happens in Open Space simply can’t happen. Unfortunately it does
– and that makes a joke out of a whole mess of other stuff – like
most of what we think we know about meetings, the management of

management itself. Double trouble!!</span></font><u1:p></u1:p></p>
