If readers want to pay for the old-school premium package, they can get their literature the old-fashioned way: carefully selected and edited, and presented in a bespoke, art-directed paper package. But below that there will be a vast continuum of other options: quickie print-on-demand editions and electronic editions for digital devices, with a corresponding hierarchy of professional and amateur editorial selectiveness.

Music and life are part of the same continuum, not separate from each other. Even science is an art for Koh—the art of “interpreting data.” Besides cellos and cells, Koh is also concerned about peace and cites exiled Korean composer Isang Yun as his source of inspiration. Although a native South Korean, Koh lived...
