Perception and experience merge in memory.
One does not set emotion aside for creative purposes, but the even temperament senses more acutely the range of atmospheric variation, color, and sound essential to composition because the experience is broader and deeper than that colored by internal conflict or extremity of personal feeling. This is the contrast between subjectivity and objective synthesis apparent in both visual and musical works. Consider the differences between Van Gogh and Dürer, or Beethoven and Brian Eno, for clarity through contrast.
