The core value of the composition

When the composer completes his composition, he feels the need to present his work to the public. The audience is free to respond in a positive or negative manner to the presentation of the work, but this does not necessarily define them as judge.
The audience does not have the right to determine the quality of the work, although they have the right to form opinions on the performance. The result of whether the work is successful or not, depends on the audiences’ choice.
The composer cannot control the judgement made by the audiences. Although the composer cannot predict the audiences opinion, however performer has the potential to do so.
Thus, the role of the performer is crucial. Te performer must understand the inner working of the work in order to create a convincing performance and clearly communicate the core values of the work in a way which the audience can understand. Therefore, the audiences’ opinion of the work is entirely dependent on the performance of the new piece. The responder’s acceptance of the work cannot be guaranteed.
It is important that the wider public is exposed to the importance of music education. With this knowledge they will be able to understand the new conventions of the work. Then the listener can fully understand and associate with the composer. However most listeners enjoy music from the surface.
