Questions I will ask myself regarding new work:

1. Is there a connection to antiquity? If so, in what manner?
2. Is the composition satisfying?
3. Why did I make this? What does it stand for?
4. Does it adequately represent what I stand for?
5. Is Romantic dialogue present in this piece?
6. What did I sacrifice for this piece?
