In the middle of a hot July afternoon, I became a thief of some sort — a thief of music.
For the first time, I created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Using only my ears and iPad, I transformed a mix of sounds and melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I created complex harmonies (和声) and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide — I did it on my own.
I've been a pianist since my hands grew big enough to touch the piano. With my father as a musician, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in the past centuries: elegant lines of neatly printed notes stamped across the sheet music became the script I had to perform. I valued classical music — adored it — but I felt such performances were shallow. I had nothing of my own to contribute to the masterful compositions of Bach or Rachmaninov.
This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modem song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine. What I'd done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed — to "steal" a song from my favorite band — and to change it into something different all on my own. I was a thief but I was also an artist.
In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece: the same themes, different characters, and different circumstances. But the novel no less deserves praise just because its uniqueness is compromised.
The gift of creativity is just like the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find out something beautiful, to analyze and change it and lose yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece.
1.Why did the author create the piano arrangement?
A.Because he was not satisfied with the old one.
B.Because he wanted to create music of his own.
C.Because he was tired of his father's music-teaching method.
D.Because he wanted to show respect for Bach and Rachmaninov.
2.By mentioning Shakespeare, the author wants to tell us______.
A.there is no true creativity in music.
B.Shakespeare9s plays are totally original.
C.many of Shakespeare,s plays deserve no praise.
D.originality is connected with what has already existed.
3.We can conclude from the passage that______.
A.creativity is to find something beautiful.
B.adaptation has nothing to do with creativity.
C.a masterpiece can be a changed version of an existed work.
D.common people don't have the ability to create something new.
