Hmm... You have much to learn, Mr. Spielberg.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do, but the most important, is to say 'it is
finished'.
A completed statement is worth more to history than something which changes
over time, eventually losing it's initial charm to a series of reworkings
that seemed a good idea at the time.

The vast majority of my stuff has never been recorded, but the sheet music
exists in several locations in different countries.
Having said that, I am currently working on a distribution deal for a CD of
Christmas music to be recorded this Summer, and released at the end of the
year.

You said pretty much the same thing when you first showed up. Yet I'm sure
you're opinions have shifted since then. You can't have been right both
times.

One thing it didn't do - and that very little 'popular' music does, tbh -
is have an emotional impact on me.
That honour is 99% reserved for choral stuff.
