I Write [music] As A

I Pay No Attention Whatever To Anybody's Praise Or Blame. I Simply Follow My Own Feelings.

The Music Is Not In The Notes, But In The Silence Between.

I Love It When An Aria Fits A Singer As Perfectly As A Suit Of Well-tailored Clothes.

The Most Necessary, Most Difficult And Principal Thing In Music, That Is Time.

God Is Ever Before My Eyes. I Realize His Omnipotence And I Fear His Anger; But I Also Recognize His Compassion, And His Tenderness Towards His Creatures.
