The Great-at-anything Do Not Set To Work

Jazz Is Not A 'form' But A Collection Of Tags And Tricks.

The Great Composer Does Not Set To Work Because He Is Inspired, But Becomes Inspired Because He Is Working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach And Mozart Settled Down Day After Day To The Job In Hand With As Much Regularity As An Accountant Settles Down Each Day To His Figures. They Didn't Waste Time Waiting For Inspiration.

You May Help A Lame Dog Over A Stile But He Is Still A Lame Dog On The Other Side.

A Good Composer Is Slowly Discovered And A Bad Composer Is Slowly Found Out.

The Finest Singing, Given A Good Voice To Begin With, Comes From The Constant Play Of A Fine Mind Upon The Inner Meaning Of The Music.
