I admire the sentiment but I would say for myself that I do want my works performed, and I work very hard to make that happen. I do not, however, do it for fame, money, et al., but for personal and professional satisfaction and growth.

I have, on very rare occasion, been asked to compose something (for money or gratis)... and they were things that I did not particularly want to write. You can write something that is still your work and for the audience, but I believe it's a balance. That's a personal choice, of course. If you choose not to do so, I support that as well.


I would caution y'all about being satisfied with your works not being played.
Music that isn't played isn't music... it's just paper.
