There Are Only Twelve Tones And They

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

The Reactions Music Evokes Are Not Feelings, But They Are The Images, Memories Of Feelings.

Tonality Is A Natural Force, Like Gravity.

Your Task It Is, Amid Confusion, Rush, And Noise, To Grasp The Lasting, Calm And Meaningful, And Finding It Anew, To Hold And Treasure It.

Music, As Long As It Exists, Will Always Take Its Departure From The Major Triad And Return To It. The Musician Cannot Escape It Any More Than The Painter His Primary Colors Or The Architect His Three Dimensions.
