Music is a life long pursuit, and every musician, from the student, the professional, or the hobbyist, is engaged in a quest to learn. To acquire the skills to become better than you were yesterday. Not every saxophonist will be as great of a player as Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, or John Coltrane, but can be the best version of themselves, with command over their instrument, and a “voice” of their own that has something to say through music. It is the same for the composer as for the instrumentalist.
