Sometimes you have to tolerate the cacophony before you can find the harmony

Well, maybe Mozart didn't have to. But for the rest of us, experimenting with how something works, will enable us to eventually hit on all the wonderful possibilities. In order to learn to play a guitar, for example, we need to learn how to hold it, and then the sounds each string makes all along the neck. Once we learn this, we are then equipped to play the harmonies involving multiple strings. But be sure, along the way, as you experiment, there will be noise!
