This quotation from Chick Corea is transcribed from an interview video that I saw on Instagram.
As far as music itself goes
the simplest thing to forget is that what music is about
and any kind of art form is about
It’s creating the kind of things that you think are beautiful
Now, there is when you sit as a piano player and you’re creating
you have to learn to be certain about what you like
not what you think sounds good to someone else
First thing is, you have to learn your own heart
and your own mind about sound
So whatever you think is beautiful
that’s what is beautiful
And you have to pursue that road
