There is nothing more musical than a sunset.

I wish to sing of my interior visions with the naive candour of a child.

There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.

Works of art make rules but rules do not make works of art.

There is nothing more musical than a sunset.

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.

Anyone who calls my music "impressionist" is an imbecile.
