I Liked The Opera Very Much. Everything

Composing Is Like Driving Down A Foggy Road.

It Is Cruel, You Know, That Music Should Be So Beautiful.

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.

I Liked The Opera Very Much. Everything But The Music.

It Is Cruel, You Know, That Music Should Be So Beautiful. It Has The Beauty Of Loneliness Of Pain: Of Strength And Freedom. The Beauty Of Disappointment And Never-satisfied Love. The Cruel Beauty Of Nature And Everlasting Beauty Of Monotony.
