John Adams (Deborah O'Grady)
In his 1795 treatise "On Naive and Sentimental Poetry," Friedrich Schiller divided the creative personality into two categories: "those who are not conscious of any rift between themselves and their milieu, or within themselves; and those who are so conscious." (trans. Isaiah Berlin) Composer John Adams takes this view as a launching pad for his own "Naive and Sentimental Music," which explores the often dichotomous nature of the artist.
