The Third Quartet I made the instruments in pairs - Two different pairs - Violin and viola, and violin and cello. They played very different things from each other all through the whole piece.

My musical life started with hearing and being fascinated by contemporary music.

Talking about a materialistic thing, I get about 13 times more royalties from Europe than I do from America.

Almost every one of my various zero numbered birthdays has had a big concert in London and often in Paris.

Since I'm allergic to various things, the army wouldn't accept me during the war, and I got into the Office of War Information, which sent music to Europe.

Well when I was young, when I was very young, when I was a little boy I don't remember the music I heard, but there was an article in the Brooklyn Daily written by my Aunt about how I could choose phonograph records.
