Great Music Does Not Just Make Me

Yes, Influences Are Enriching, And They Can Be Found In Every Work Of Art, Even The Most Original.

It Is Obvious That Anything A Scientist Discovers Or Invents Is Based On Previous Discoveries And Inventions. The Same Applies To The Arts.

I Strongly Suggest That We Play Down Basics Like Who Influenced Whom, And Instead Study The Way The Influence Is Transformed, In Other Words: How The Artist Made It His Own.

Any Creator Owes A Debt To Past Creation.

I Don't Dare Postulate About Science, But I Know That It Takes Both Emotion And Intellect In Order For Art To Happen.
