A Symphony Is No Joke.

To Follow In Beethoven's Footsteps Transcends One's Strength.

It Is Not Hard To Compose, But What Is Fabulously Hard Is To Leave The Superfluous Notes Under The Table.

In My Study I Can Lay My Hand On The Bible In The Pitch Dark. All Truly Inspired Ideas Come From God. The Powers From Which All Truly Great Composers Like Mozart, Schubert, Bach And Beethoven Drew Their Inspirations Is The Same Power That Enabled Jesus To Do His Miracles.

It Is Not Hard To Compose But It Is Wonderfully Hard To Let The Superfluous Notes Fall Under The Table. . . So Many Melodies Fly About, One Must Be Careful Not To Tread On Them.

The Only True Immortality Lies In One's Children.
