    From one view of composition-let us call it the inspired or "Mozartian" view-musical compositions arrive fully formed in the mind of the composer and simply require transcription.

Particular landmarks in the compositional landscape tend to become clear before others, such that the incomplete piece is a patchwork of disconnected musical islands. An interactive evolutionary morphing system may provide some assistance for composers, to help build bridges between musical islands by generating hybrid musical transitions.
