One Can't Judge Wagner's Opera Lohengrin After

Wagner Has Lovely Moments But Awful Quarters Of An Hour.

Every Kind Of Music Is Good, Except The Boring Kind.

Nothing Primes Inspiration More Than Necessity, Whether It Be The Presence Of A Copyist Waiting For Your Work Or The Prodding Of An Impresario Tearing His Hair.

Give Me A Laundry List And I'll Set It To Music.

The Language Of Music Is Common To All Generations And Nations; It Is Understood By Everybody, Since It Is Understood With The Heart.
