Composition is the name of a music lecture, to shorten, or extend a known music to fit some needs. Then you can tune it to adapt it to feelings, theme, or circumstances. It's done in particular at church, to adapt some music to the priest. From man to man, priests don't all do mass at the same speed and organist needs to adapt and fit to each priest, so that music ends exactly. You may need to shorten by half, or double some music, and end it nicely at less than 3s to the point the priest needs to. There is method for that. There are school lectures ... Improvisation is rarely needed nowadays. I can't see any other use of it today, outside music events where you may deform a piece but don't really need to adapt it to an event that is external to the orchestra (jazz band do improvisation for themselves, not for an external performer). Sometimes, in a limited way, at circus or one man show, but it's a bit different. Sometimes when the organist is too proud and selfish, and does not care about religion, he may do his own show to prove himself, and after the mass the priest blames him.

@@Dark0neone So your privacy is now irrelevant? The Unix philosophy and Open Source movements are irrelevant now? If it weren't for open source, most modern software would not exist today. Fuck the proprietary garbage Microsoft made. When do I start replying, when your comment is plain incorrect? Firstly, most server systems and tons of embedded ones run exclusively on Linux, and you wouldn't want to lose access to those, right? Secondly, Linux does not make the computer any harder to use, if not more efficient and faster. You can choose between a great variety of distributions, a.k.a. distros, to suit your needs. There's Manjaro and Ubuntu for beginners not wanting to customise anything about their computer, and Arch (or arch based distros), Gentoo, for more advanced users willing to customise, and customise everything. If you get to your first KDE Installation, there won't be any major difficulties using it, because it's not much different to the Windows desktop environment. More advanced users can choose Tiling Window Managers alongside their distro, in order to increase productivity. See your computer using 2GB of ram, that's a lot, even if your RAM capacity is 32GB. Well, Linux can be as minimalistic as possible if you make it that way, reducing bloat to effectively zero. Either way, your can see exactly how your system resources are allocated and what each and every program is doing. The Linux contributors are ready to patch vulnerabilities as soon as they are found, before they could be used to create malware and similar kinds of software, taking advantage of such vulnerabilities. Thus, malware creators focus on Microsoft's and Apple's shit and not Linux. There's effectively no malware in the official repositories for every distro, and there's no need for the bloat, that is an antivirus. That's all performance, usability, privacy, customisation, and security improved there for you, just by using Linux and Open Source software. And now you may ask, why am I using KZread when it's not open source? Well, there sadly don't exist alternatives that are popular enough to be usable, although Odyssee (which works on top of the LBRY Blockchain, that may be a turn down for some), is starting to become more popular, and a few creators like DistroTube, now upload to both KZread and Odyssee.

XP was iconic. And that's part of the reason so many of us still remember it so well. It seems like everything is deliberately made to be forgotten these days. That way we are more likely to abandon it for the next new and "improved" product.
