How certain human beings are able to create works of art is a mystery, and why they should wish to do so, at a great cost to themselves usually, is another mystery. Works are not created by one's life; every life is rich in material.

Gertrude Stein, all courage and will, is a soldier of minimalism.

This art of the nuance in repetition and placement she shares with the orchestral compositions of Philip Glass.
