Rests always sound well.

I find above all that the expression, atonal music, is most unfortunate — it is on a par with calling flying the art of not falling, or swimming the art of not drowning.

If music is frozen architecture, then the potpourri is frozen coffee-table gossip... Potpourri is the art of adding apples to pears.

Great art must proceed to precision and brevity. It presupposes the alert mind of an educated listener who, in a singleact of thinking, includes with every concept all associations pertaining to the complex.

In Spring! In the creation of art it must be as it is in Spring!

I am the slave of an internal power more powerful than my education.

If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art.
