Musicus vs musikant

Musicus is the opposite of the musikant.

Musikanten look at already created music. They need a map to see various rules and steps. Then they take the next step.

Musici look at what is already created. They look at what's missing. They see the opportunity. Then they make it real. Instead of a map, they look for a compass.

That's why they seem so weird to musikanten. That's exactly why we can't live without them.
