New music did the same for me. As an undergrad I was learning a
broad spectrum of rep, but doing the Berio Sequenza and other 20th century
works gave me a unique kind of performing freedom and creative scope. Not
all kinds of 20th century rep calls for this, like Stravinsky who said (in
a TV interview) "Don't do nothingks to my music."
