Music Was Not Invented By The Composer,

Art Is Not Emotion. Art Is The Medium In Which Emotion Is Expressed.

I've Been A Woman For A Little Over 50 Years And Have Gotten Over My Initial Astonishment. As For Conducting An Orchestra, That's A Job Where I Don't Think Sex Plays Much Part.

The Art Of Music Is So Deep And Profound That To Approach It Very Seriously Only Is Not Enough. One Must Approach Music With A Serious Rigor And, At The Same Time, With A Great, Affectionate Joy.

To Study Music, We Must Learn The Rules. To Create Music, We Must Break Them.

Do Not Take Up Music Unless You Would Rather Die Than Not Do So.
