Brian Eno: Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing, which it isn't after several long days' work.
Is there ever a "fire" in composition? A rule of thumb for completing a symphony would be to write a minute of music a day. That can be hard on some days when you might have lots of 16th notes at fast tempos. Old Master composers needed a different kind of fire to get through those days scratching with a calligraphy pen into a score--including the staves.
