There Is Nothing Like Practice.

To Me, Atonality Is Against Nature. There Is A Center To Everything That Exists. The Planets Have The Sun, The Earth, The Moon.

I Was Much More Interested In The Orchestra Than The Piano, But I Did Become Fairly Proficient As A Pianist And My Teachers Felt I Had Talent And Wanted Me To Become A Good Concert Pianist And Earn My Living That Way.

It's Hard For Me To Think Of Others Because I'm Not Particularly In Sympathy With The Music Of This Century.

I've Always Regarded Nature As The Clothing Of God.
