Intro/ Thesis
So, what was it that really sparked Wolfs creativity? Was it his illness? His life experiences? His connection to the poems of Morike? (need to add info about this- read the book on poetry) His drive to make a mark on the world before he died? Trying to live up to his father's expectations and be successful at his chosen profession? Were his bursts of creativity a result of a single one of these things or all of them combined? Did he just need to wait for the right timing to become the mature composer he ended up being?
-------Wolfs pattern of creativity and impact on music What about Wolfs compositions made them so impactful? “Despite his efforts to make a significant contribution to the opera repertoire, it was the Lied which …show more content…
To be creative is to make something new, innovative, or original. Creativity can be combinational, (“involves the generation of unfamiliar combinations of familiar ideas”), exploratory (“the existing stylistic rules or conventions are used to generate novel structures (ideas or artifacts), whose possibility may or may not have been realized before the exploration took place. To the extent that it was not, the new structure will be not only satisfying but surprising.”) or transformational (“leads to “impossibilist” surprise, wherein the novel idea appears to be not merely new, not even merely strange, but impossible.”) or a combination of the three (Neuroscience of creativity). It can also depend on the number of product and whether the item is useful or not. Many ‘creative’ people exhibit divergent thinking and nonconformist attitudes. Creativity often manifests itself in different ways depending on the discipline you're looking at. The arts are often the first thing many people think of when speaking of creativity, that is art, music, theater, literature but science, math and medicine also require creativity to solve problems or give a diagnosis. Creativity in those fields is often based the innovative use of previous knowledge rather than the strict invention something new which many think of regarding painting, or writing music and poetry. Music composition has elements of both because all composers should have some basis of knowledge before they can do anything new with it. A clear definition of creativity is: something that is original, useful and, depending on the situation, quantity may be considered as well. For some it may be easy to look at their lives and determine whether they were creative or not but how does one obtain creativity? Is it a skill that can be learned or a characteristic that is ingrained in the lucky few? Psychological studies have
