Music is a performing art, as any Native American will tell you. It isn't there in the score.

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

Public notice does not necessarily accord with internal fulfilment.

Shakespeare fascinated me. He hardly ever left the country. His imagination was worldwide though reading.

I think we're all pretty odd.

Conductors don't suffer, they are part of the performance.

The nearest figure to myself would be Shakespeare.
