They were suggesting that you didn't have to let other people hear it. But the way I see it is .. look at a Shakespeare play. That wouldn't exist without the audience.

Without wanting to sound awfully pretentious,‘ she added, laughing and adopting her mock upper-class tone, ‚it's a lot to do with where the observer stands in relation to it all.

'As the observer - receiving the Shakespeare play or seeing the beautiful painting... without your presence, it doesn't really exist in the same way. So, if you make music and you don't let people hear it, you could almost say it doesn‘t exist.‘
