I'm Always Hoping For The Nights That

When You Hear Bach Or Mozart, You Hear Perfection. Remember That Bach, Mozart And Beethoven Were Great Improvisers. I Can Hear That In Their Music.

I'm Always Hoping For The Nights That Are Inspired Where You Almost Have An Out Of Body Experience

I Don't Think You Can Separate A Person's "style" And His Persona. If You're Writing Or Improvising Honestly, You Will Inevitably Reflect Who You Are.

The Source Of Inspiration Can Be Any Of The Things:deep Emotional Experiences - Say, Romantic Love Or Spiritual Contemplation.i Think Such Rare Moments Come Only When You Have Total Concentration. You Are Consumed In And By The Music. I Guess You Could Say That It Is Akin To Contemplation. In Order To Reach This Desirable State Of Mind You Have To Rise Above The Environment You're In At That Particular Time - A Bad Piano, Glaring Stage Lights, Or The Attitude Of The Audience. Sometimes The Inspiration Of The Other Musicians You're Playing With Helps You Reach This Stage.

I Knew I Wanted To Write On Religious Themes When I Was A Gi In World War Ii. I Saw And Experienced So Much Violence That I Thought I Could Express My Outrage Best With Music.
