À la plupart des questions qui touchent à la composition il n?y a pas de réponses définitives. Chaque composition constitue une proposition de réponse. Il n?y a pas non plus de ligne de conduite définie que l?on pourrait préconiser à coup sûr. En revanche, pour le compositeur il est important d?être conscient des problématiques qu?il va rencontrer et de l?éventail des choix possibles. Il est important de connaître la nature du territoire sur lequel il évolue, afin d?éviter de se perdre, de tourner en rond, d?être bloqué par des préjugés ou par des idées reçues. C?est un préalable essentiel pour, au final, jouir au mieux de sa liberté.

La composition est un domaine immense. Beaucoup de thèmes abordés dans cet ouvrage pourraient aisément se voir consacrer un volume entier. Mais, avant de trop approfondir certains d?entre eux, le compositeur gagne à avoir une vision globale du sujet qui soit, autant que possible, détachée de tout à priori stylistique. C?est ce que l?auteur a essayé de proposer dans cet ouvrage.

Par ailleurs les problématiques relatives à la composition se répondent, interfèrent, empiètent les unes sur les autres et ne se prêtent guère à un exposé structuré de façon logique et progressive. D?où le choix de l?Abécédaire, forme volontairement subjective, dans laquelle chaque entrée projette un éclairage différent, certaines se recoupant parfois. Mais qui, au final, devrait donner au lecteur une idée du sujet la plus fidèle possible.

Il faut considérer ce livre comme un viatique que le compositeur emporte avec lui dans son voyage musical de façon à pouvoir le consulter lorsqu?il est bloqué, lorsqu?il a des doutes sur la direction à emprunter, ou simplement lorsqu?il veut avoir un aperçu des possibilités qui s?offrent à lui. / Livre / Agrafé /
