I liked the opera very much. Everything but the music.
Music does not excite until it is performed.
The model of a composer.
One day I'll be able to relax a bit, and try and become a good composer.
The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping.
These two are not two, love has made them one. Amo Ergo Sum! And by its mystery each is no less but more.
