Truly, despite his youth, this person knows how to improvise life and amazes even the keenest observer—for he never seems to make a mistake even though he constantly plays the riskiest game. It reminds one of those masters of musical improvisation to whose hands the listener would also like to ascribe a divine infallibility even though, like every mortal, they make a mistake here and there. But they are practised and inventive and always ready at any moment to incorporate into the thematic order the most accidental note to which the stroke of a finger or a mood drives them, breathing a beautiful meaning and a soul into an accident.
One wonders what sort of musical improvisations Nietzsche is thinking of, and what they sounded like.
