People come to music to seek oblivion: is that not also a form of deception?

Do not allow the accents in the brass to produce space between the notes.

Life is the space between our things.

There is nothing more musical than a sunset. He who feels what he sees will find no more beautiful example of development in all that book which, alas, musicians read but too little - the book of Nature.

Inspiration and ideas only come to me when I have not had a woman in a very long time... Ballads, polonaises, even a whole concerto may have been lost forever up your des durka, I can't tell you how many. I have been so deeply engulfed in my love for you I have hardly created anything.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.

Some people wish above all to conform to the rules, I wish only to render what I can hear.
