Quotes- "A good composer does not imitate; he steals."- "Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor; we do not remember him in it." - "A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo; and zoo animals have been known to die from stares." - "Harpists spend 90 percent of their lives tuning their harps and 10 percent playing out of tune." - "I liked the opera very much. Everything but the music." "His music used to be original. Now it's aboriginal." "The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead." "Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end."
