I think I do sometimes get a general idea for a piece, or a key insight or question, that comes to me out of the blue. But usually when that happens I’m primed in some way—reading your poetry (!), listening to other music, taking a long walk, letting musical questions percolate in the back of my mind after struggling with them actively earlier, etc.
And there are usually months of work between a general idea and a realized piece, so it’s the work I tend to remember.
