Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.

I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!

The performance of performance has developed to such an extent in recent years that it challenges the music itself and will soon threaten it with relegation.

There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.

I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.

Music is...the coordination between man and time.
