Someone once asked me... whether I waited for inspiration. My answer was: "Every day!"

Inspiration may be a form of superconsciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.

If one were asked to name one musician who came closest to composing without human flaw, I suppose general consensus would choose Johann Sebastian Bach.

Composers tend to assume that everyone loves music. Surprisingly enough, everyone doesn’t.

So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.

A melody is not merely something you can hum.

You may feel depressed, but it can't be so depressing that you can't move. No, I would say that people create in moments when they are elated about expressing their depression!
