I have a little confession to make.

When I was a university student, I was a music major. I tried hard to play by the rules and do what was expected of me. I believed this was the way to succeed.

Then, during my second year, some of my fellow music majors decided to put on a rather impromptu concert of pieces they had composed. It was to be held in one of the concert halls on campus. One of them asked me if I would perform a piece with her. I said yes, but I was confused. Was this concert being put on by the Theory & Composition Department? If not, who was behind this concert?
