A Little Too Much Is Just Enough

Appreciation Of Art Is A Moral Erection, Otherwise Mere Dilettantism.

Good Music Resembles Something. It Resembles The Composer.

He Who Is Affected By An Insult Is Infected By It.

Listen Carefully To First Criticisms Made Of Your Work. Note Just What It Is About Your Work That Critics Don't Like - Then Cultivate It. That's The Only Part Of Your Work That's Individual And Worth Keeping.

We Are In A Period Of Such Individualism That One No Longer Speaks Of Disciples; One Speaks Of Thieves.
