I Did All Kinds Of Things In

I Was Much More Interested In The Orchestra Than The Piano, But I Did Become Fairly Proficient As A Pianist And My Teachers Felt I Had Talent And Wanted Me To Become A Good Concert Pianist And Earn My Living That Way.

It's Hard For Me To Think Of Others Because I'm Not Particularly In Sympathy With The Music Of This Century.

I Think That Of My 21 Symphonies, Each Has Its Own Place.

I've Always Regarded Nature As The Clothing Of God.

To Me, Atonality Is Against Nature. There Is A Center To Everything That Exists. The Planets Have The Sun, The Earth, The Moon.
