I know this question wasn't asked of me, but I have the answer.
I've been listening.
The fact that people are listening is what
put Boulez in the history books.

And possibly because you want to enjoy hearing your music too?? After all, aren't you a part of your own audience, and a part that has a major effect on the music that gets written?
Personally I write stuff that
I like, and if other people like it too, great. If not, oh well, at least I've satisfied myself.
