In the development of the musical talents of the individual on
Mars the pupil is impressed with the necessity of expressing the
true self, and the original improvisation or composition is the
method by which the pupil expresses his understanding of the
subject. No one attempts to ape the technique or genius of
another, for on Mars all are geniuses. This is true in every
form of activity. All must be creators to express individuality.

special expression of Divine Harmony the product of his genius is
for the benefit of all, hence copyrights and patents are unknown
on our planet.
