Works Of Art Make Rules But Rules

There Is Nothing More Musical Than A Sunset. He Who Feels What He Sees Will Find No More Beautiful Example Of Development In All That Book Which, Alas, Musicians Read But Too Little - The Book Of Nature.

On Those Who Overanalyze His Music: When You Tear The Wings Off A Butterfly, It Is No Longer A Butterfly

There Is No Theory. You Have Only To Listen. Pleasure Is The Law. I Love Music Passionately. And Because L Love It, I Try To Free It From Barren Traditions That Stifle It. It Is A Free Art Gushing Forth, An Open-air Art Boundless As The Elements, The Wind, The Sky, The Sea. It Must Never Be Shut In And Become An Academic Art.

I Am More And More Convinced That Music Is Not, In Essence, A Thing Which Can Be Cast Into A Traditional And Fixed Form. It Is Made Up Of Colors And Rhythms.

Anyone Who Calls My Music "impressionist" Is An Imbecile.
