One Can't Judge Wagner's Opera Lohengrin After

Wagner Has Lovely Moments But Awful Quarters Of An Hour.

How Wonderful Opera Would Be If There Were No Singers.

Every Kind Of Music Is Good, Except The Boring Kind.

Answer Them Critics With Silence And Indifference. It Works Better, I Assure You, Than Anger And Argument. . . .

Nothing Primes Inspiration More Than Necessity, Whether It Be The Presence Of A Copyist Waiting For Your Work Or The Prodding Of An Impresario Tearing His Hair.
