In Opera, There Is Always Too Much

In Opera, There Is Always Too Much Singing.

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.

To Complete A Work Is Just Like Being Present At The Death Of Someone You Love.

The Century Of Aeroplanes Deserves Its Own Music. As There Are No Precedents, I Must Create Anew.

It Is Necessary To Abandon Yourself Completely, And Let The Music Do As It Will With You. All People Come To Music To Seek Oblivion.
