The relationship between composer and audience

It is a really interesting question that how to describe the relationship between composer and audience. I agree with those who think their relationship is quite complex and magic. Can you imagine the composer use their feeling and understanding of music to bring audience to another wonderful world. If there are no relationship between them, the audience can not follow the composer to visit the musical world.

Firstly, I think the audience will follow the composer consciously. If you go to enjoy a concert, you will recognize who is the composer and then you will follow him or her consciously. So there is a connection between you and the composer gradually. After then, if he or she is a outstanding composer and it is a great performance, you will feel comfortable to follow the composer to enjoy music.

Moreover, a lot of audiences who go to a concert are classical music fans. At least they know classical music pieces and like them. Most of the audiences understand some classical composition. So they can build a connection with the composer. Such as they can find some resonances and same ideas with the composer. And they can learn more from the composer as well. So this is a relationship between them.

I believe the relationship between composer and audience is extremely magic. Maybe they do not know each other, but they can build such a connection by music.
