For artist as composer, choice is change involving gain and loss.
Essentially, gain and loss cannot be issues: each sound will exist in juxtapositions of similarity and contrast, and each note, tone, line, or movement will alter the listening experience. The total effect, therefore, is the prime consideration, and all choices and changes must contribute to that outcome, much in the same way as do each of the painter's strokes on canvas.
