I think it was when I was nineteen, by that time the Jewish laws were already in force and the split was beginning to come about which isolated the Jewish culture.
I don't use old music.
There is a wonderful Hungarian literature, especially in lyric poetry.
But I do not want to use Hungarian verses for British people.
I know already the music I will write. But the words? I have not yet decided.
I write bars, for the musicians, because they have to be together.
