wait, wait, wait.. not to keep flogging a dead thread, but... why  
must a composer exhaust their output in a genre before moving on to  
another? can't you just start painting now, even in the midst of  
writing the string quartets?

I understand single-mindedness, but I personally have always been  
involved in so many styles/genres/instrumentation/media in both  
serial and overlapping time frames in my life that I just thought it  
normal artistic comportment. (Until, of course, I lost out in the  
final few spots for the PhD program at Mr Lansky's deptartment a few  
years ago. I was advised to "narrow my focus."  Maybe that's just the  
Princeton way? Can't do something while you're already doing  
something else?)
