There Is Nothing Like Practice.

I Think That Of My 21 Symphonies, Each Has Its Own Place.

To Me, Atonality Is Against Nature. There Is A Center To Everything That Exists. The Planets Have The Sun, The Earth, The Moon.

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.

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've Always Regarded Nature As The Clothing Of God.
