Listen To No One's Advice

If I Am Not Making Music, I Have No Reason For Existing.

I Am More And More Convinced That Music Is Not, In Essence, A Thing Which Can Be Cast Into A Traditional And Fixed Form. It Is Made Up Of Colors And Rhythms.

Anyone Who Calls My Music "impressionist" Is An Imbecile.

There Is No Theory. You Have Only To Listen. Pleasure Is The Law. I Love Music Passionately. And Because L Love It, I Try To Free It From Barren Traditions That Stifle It. It Is A Free Art Gushing Forth, An Open-air Art Boundless As The Elements, The Wind, The Sky, The Sea. It Must Never Be Shut In And Become An Academic Art.

Beauty Must Appeal To The Senses, Must Provide Us With Immediate Enjoyment, Must Impress Us Or Insinuate Itself Into Us Without Any Effort On Our Part.
