The Model Of A Composer.

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

Composing Is Like Driving Down A Foggy Road Toward A House. Slowly You See More Details Of The House-the Color Of The Slates And Bricks, The Shape Of The Windows. The Notes Are The Bricks And The Mortar Of The House.

One Day I'll Be Able To Relax A Bit, And Try And Become A Good Composer.

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.

Music Does Not Excite Until It Is Performed.
