What I wanted and what I visualized while composing has not always been realized.
The further the music develops, the more complex the apparatus used by the composer to express his thoughts becomes.
I beg of you... never assume an inner or an outer pose, never a disguise.
Even if people censure me, they should do so hat in hand.
Behind me the branches of a wasted and sterile existence are cracking.
The real art of conducting consists in transitions.
