I know already the music I will write. But the words? I have not yet decided.

My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.

However, I began composing as soon as I started taking piano lessons.

But if you go from Moscow to Budapest you think you are in Paris.

First of all I listen to music. I like music.

I lived under the Nazis and under the Communists.

I only want to give a metaphysic for my music.
