The Old Idea Of A Composer Suddenly

I Am An Arrogant And Impatient Listener, But In The Case Of A Few Composers, A Very Few, When I Hear A Work I Do Not Like, I Am Convinced That It Is My Own Fault. Verdi Is One Of Those Composers.

Composing Is Like Driving Down A Foggy Road.

One Day I'll Be Able To Relax A Bit, And Try And Become A Good Composer.

Composing Is Like Driving Down A Foggy Road Toward A House. Slowly You See More Details Of The House-the Color Of The Slates And Bricks, The Shape Of The Windows. The Notes Are The Bricks And The Mortar Of The House.

Music Does Not Excite Until It Is Performed.
