I Don't Write Music For Sissy Ears.

It Is More Important To Keep The Horse Going Hard Than To Always Play The Exact Notes.

An Apparent Confusion, If Lived With Long Enough, May Become Orderly . . . A Rare Experience Of A Moment At Daybreak, When Something In Nature Seems To Reveal All Consciousness, Cannot Be Explained At Noon. Yet It Is Part Of The Day's Unity

The Future Of Music May Not Lie Entirely In Music Itself, But Rather In The Way It Encourages And Extends, Rather Than Limits The Aspirations And Ideals Of The People, In The Way It Makes Itself A Part With The Finer Things That Humanity Does And Dreams Of.

My God! What Has Sound Got To Do With Music?

Beauty In Music Is Too Often Confused With Something That Lets The Ears Lie Back In An Easy Chair. Many Sounds That We Are Used To Do Not Bother Us, And For That Reason We Are Inclined To Call Them Beautiful. Frequently, When A New Or Unfamiliar Work Is Accepted As Beautiful On Its First Hearing, Its Fundamental Quality Is One That Tends To Put The Mind To Sleep.
