“Music is the outward and audible signification of inward and spiritual realities.”
― Saudades / Peter Warlock. 1923 [Leather Bound]
― Saudades / Peter Warlock. 1923 [Leather Bound]
“Whether one calls oneself conservative or revolutionary, whether one composes in a conventional or progressive manner, whether one tries to imitate old styles or is destined to express new ideas -- whether one is a good composer or not -- one must be convinced of the infallibility of one's own fantasy and one must believe in one's own inspiration. ("Composition with Twelve Tones")”
