I think the best music would relate not only to your close friends/family, but to musicians and composers. In other words, music that everybody enjoys. These are the pieces that have stood the test of time.

I think in all honesty, a piece can only fulfill its potential, when played by real musicians. Plus I would argue that it is difficult to get down what you have in your head on a computer, because the sound of a fake orchestra kinda restricts your musical thought. I have used a computer for every piece I've written so far, but now I am learning to write music properly so I can get down what's in my head without having to hear an inferior version of it played back to me!
