I Think That Of My 21 Symphonies,

I Was Born In Somerville, But I Don't Remember Very Much About It Because We Moved From There To Arlington When I Was Five Years Old, And It Was In Arlington That I Spent Most Of My Childhood.

I Think That Of My 21 Symphonies, Each Has Its Own Place.

I've Always Regarded Nature As The Clothing Of God.

There Is Nothing Like Practice.

I Was Much More Interested In The Orchestra Than The Piano, But I Did Become Fairly Proficient As A Pianist And My Teachers Felt I Had Talent And Wanted Me To Become A Good Concert Pianist And Earn My Living That Way.
