In my piano concerto I developed this polyphony to much higher complexity
I only want to give a metaphysic for my music.
It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.
I think a composer is always interested in his last work.
Perhaps the better word is emotional yes, I am an emotional man
I was fifteen years old, and I hardly knew how to play a simple Bach prelude on the piano when I began to compose music, and at the most advanced level. I had never studied such things as harmony.
