The musician’s competitive life
The musician’s competitive life
Competition is part of the fundamental nature of life, whether we like it or not. Just as animals compete for habitat, food, partners and status in a herd, people vie for study places and jobs, socioeconomic status and in many skill-related sports. Even if it’s not always an actual competition, the mind organises the surrounding world by comparing itself to others. At the same time, however, a significant proportion of the competitions in human life are waged against oneself.
