Violin Concerto (1935). Roger Sessions /self-evidence/

Image by dhammza via FlickrThe Composer's Datebook podcast the other day had an interesting quote from the late composer Roger Sessions:

I would prefer by far to write music which has something fresh to reveal at each new hearing than music which is completely self-evident the first time, and though it may remain pleasing makes no essential contribution therafter.
