Melody Is The Essence Of Music.

I Am Never Happier Than When I Have Something To Compose, For That, After All, Is My Sole Delight And Passion

God First, Then Papa.

I Write [music] As A Sow Piddles.

All I Insist On, And Nothing Else, Is That You Should Show The Whole World That You Are Not Afraid. Be Silent, If You Choose; But When It Is Necessary, Speak—and Speak In Such A Way That People Will Remember It.

The Music Is Not In The Notes, But In The Silence Between.
