In Its Beginnings, Music Was Merely Chamber

To Write A Symphony Is, For Me, To Construct A World.

It Is Always The Same With Me; Only When I Experience Something Do I Compose, And Only When Composing Do I Experience! After All, A Musician's Nature Can Hardly Be Expressed In Words.

If I Weren't The Way I Am, I Shouldn't Write My Symphonies.

It Is A Funny Thing, But When I Am Making Music, All The Answers I Seek For In Life Seem To Be There, In The Music. Or Rather, I Should Say, When I Am Making Music, There Are No Questions And No Need For Answers.

It Should Be One’s Sole Endeavor To See Everything Afresh And Create It Anew.
