It Is Always Possible To Create Something

The Composer Does Not Sit Around And Wait For An Inspiration To Walk Up And Introduce Itself...making Music Is Actually Little Else Than A Matter Of Invention Aided And Abetted By Emotion. In Composing We Combine What We Know Of Music With What We Feel.

Music Sets Up Certain Vibration Which Unquestionably Results In A Physical Reaction. Eventually The Proper Vibration For Every Person Will Be Found And Utilized.

Modern European Composers...have Very Largely Received Their Stimulus, Their Rhythms And Impulses From Machine Age America. They Have A Much Older Tradition Of Musical Technique Which Has Helped Them Put Into Musical Terms A Little More Clearly The Thoughts That Originated Here. They Can Express Themselves More Glibly.

It Sounds Simple, Of Course, But Personally I Can Think Of No More Mentally Arduous Task Than Making Music.

What The Hell Do You Want To Work For Somebody Else For? Work For Yourself!
