Sometimes I have to simplify passages because they turn out not to be very musical when played by a human. But you can only simplify a 16th note run so far. The difficulty is inherent to the process of making the music; to me, practicing, sweating to be able to play it makes it worthwhile to play.

"A funny thing happened to me as I was building this mountain: I'd have an idea for a new obstacle, and I'd build it, test it, and it would usually turn out to be unreasonably hard. But I couldn't bring myself to make it easier." (Bennett Foddy in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy)
