It's Hard For Me To Think Of

I Found A Greater Identity With My Own Emotions In The Armenian Culture As I Grew Older, As Well As From The Beginning, Although I Didn't Know Anything About It.

There Is Nothing Like Practice.

My Purpose Is To Create Music Not For Snobs, But For All People, Music Which Is Beautiful And Healing. To Attempt What Old Chinese Painters Called 'spirit Resonance' In Melody And Sound.

I Was Much More Interested In The Orchestra Than The Piano, But I Did Become Fairly Proficient As A Pianist And My Teachers Felt I Had Talent And Wanted Me To Become A Good Concert Pianist And Earn My Living That Way.

It's Hard For Me To Think Of Others Because I'm Not Particularly In Sympathy With The Music Of This Century.
