The Trouble With The Opera

Inspiration And Ideas Only Come To Me When I Have Not Had A Woman In A Very Long Time... Ballads, Polonaises, Even A Whole Concerto May Have Been Lost Forever Up Your Des Durka, I Can't Tell You How Many. I Have Been So Deeply Engulfed In My Love For You I Have Hardly Created Anything.

How Much Has To Be Explored And Discarded Before Reaching The Naked Flesh Of Feeling.

Beauty Seems To Strike Some People As A Personal Affront.

There Is No Theory. You Have Only To Listen. Pleasure Is The Law. I Love Music Passionately. And Because L Love It, I Try To Free It From Barren Traditions That Stifle It. It Is A Free Art Gushing Forth, An Open-air Art Boundless As The Elements, The Wind, The Sky, The Sea. It Must Never Be Shut In And Become An Academic Art.

Works Of Art Make Rules But Rules Do Not Make Works Of Art.
