Here's a short excerpt:

OC: The decision to have the compositions for the Orangette performed by another artist seemed notable in so far as the quality of the piece moved beyond an individual perspective towards objective interpretation. Was there a conscious attempt to present the work beyond a subjective perspective?

JMS: No, never any conscious attempts to do anything.

I think it is better if someone else plays my music because there is more likelihood of an honest interpretation
of what is
on the page
that way.
If I did it the piece it would start changing on the spot... nosediving out of control on some
other tangent.
