John CageAfter I had been studying with him for two years, Schoenberg said, โIn order to write music, you must have a feeling for harmony.โ I explained to him that I had no feeling for harmony. He then said that I would always encounter an obstacle, that it would be as though I came to a wall through which I could not pass. I said, โIn that case I will devote my life to beating my head against that wall.โ
