There Are Only Twelve Tones And They

There Are Only Twelve Tones And They Need To Be Treated Carefully.

Music Is Meaningless Noise Unless It Touches A Receiving Mind.

There Are Only Two Things Worth Aiming For, Good Music And A Clean Conscience.

Our Spirit Of Life Is Not Identical With That Of Our Ancestors, And Therefore Their Music, Even If Restored With Utter Technical Perfections, Can Never Have To Us Precisely The Same Meaning It Had For Them. We Cannot Tear Down The Barricade That Separates The Present World From Things And Deeds Past.

Tonality Is A Natural Force, Like Gravity.
