The Work I've Done Is The Work

If You Remember Your Lineage, You Will Never Feel Lonely.

In Order To Arrive At A Personal Style, You Have To Have A Technique To Begin With.

My Biggest Problem About Writing Is Whenever I Write Piano Pieces, Because I Then Have To Learn To Play Them, Which Is Sometimes Not So Easy.

I Don't Know That I Make A Big Distinction Between The Big Pieces And The Little Pieces, Because I Don't Experience Them In That Way. I Mean, By The Same Token, You're Out Touring With A Band And Then You're Writing String Quartets, And In A Funny Way, Isn't It All The Same, In A Way? It's All Just Music.

I Shift Between Mediums Very Frequently. Instead Of Taking A Break From Writing, I Just Write In A Different Medium Or In A Different Way Or For A Different Purpose, So That I Don't Actually Stop Writing - I Just Go To Something Else. Like Going From A Big Symphony To A Piano Piece Is Great And Very Refreshing, I Find. And Then Going From That To A Big Concerto, And Then Having To Go Out And Play.
