I Don't Choose What I Compose. It

To Judge A Composer's Work, One Must Consider It As A Whole.

For The Last Month I Have Been A Strict Vegetarian. The Moral Effects Of This Regime Are Immense, Owing To The Voluntary Subjugation Of The Flesh And The Resulting Absence Of Desires.

I Advise You To Change Over To A Natural Way Of Life, With Proper Nourishment (wholemeal Bread), And You Will Soon Feel The Benefit.

When I Have Reached A Summit, I Leave It With Great Reluctance, Unless It Is To Reach For Another, Higher One.

The Call Of Love Sounds Very Hollow Among These Immobile Rocks.
