This is quite a different thing from making a programma months ahead. The musician in the West is bound six months beforehand to play a certain programma; he is helpless. But in this way it is not music, it is labor, it is done mechanically. Would you believe that a singer in the East never knows what he is going to sing before he starts singing? He feels the atmosphere of the place and the time, and he begins to sing or to play whatever comes to his mind.
