I never learned to verbalize an abstract musical concept. No thank you. The whole point of being a serious musician is to avoid verbalization whenever you can.

The description and explanation is the best part of music reviewing. There is such a thing, and you know it too, as a gift for judgment. If you have it, you can say anything you like. If you haven't got it, you don't know you haven't got it.

I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Music itself is not going to let you down.

In Paris, you learn wit, in London you learn to crush your social rivals, and in Florence you learn poise.

Reviewing music or reviewing anything is a writing job. It's nice if you are experienced in the field you are writing about, but writing is what you are doing.

You explain how it went, and as far as you can figure out how it got that way.
