I Write Bars, For The Musicians, Because

New York Is The Dream World, The Center Of Jazz And Rock

I Was Fifteen Years Old, And I Hardly Knew How To Play A Simple Bach Prelude On The Piano When I Began To Compose Music, And At The Most Advanced Level. I Had Never Studied Such Things As Harmony.

In My Piano Concerto I Developed This Polyphony To Much Higher Complexity

I Continued To Study Math And Physics On My Own, But One And A Half Years Later I Realized That I Did Want To Be A Composer, And After That I Never Changed My Mind.

I Think A Composer Is Always Interested In His Last Work.
