I don’t know that I make a big distinction between the big pieces and the little pieces, because I don’t experience them in that way. I mean, by the same token, you’re out touring with a band and then you’re writing string quartets, and in a funny way, isn’t it all the same, in a way? It’s all just music Picture Quote #1

A new language requires a new technique. If what you’re saying doesn’t require a new language, then what you’re saying probably isn’t new Picture Quote #1
