Applaud My Friends, The Comedy

I Want To Seize Fate By The Throat.

No Friend Have I. I Must Live By Myself Alone; But I Know Well That God Is Nearer To Me Than Others In My Art, So I Will Walk Fearlessly With Him.

I Change Many Things, Discard Others, And Try Again And Again Until I Am Satisfied; Then, In My Head, I Being To Elaborate The Work In Its Breadth, Its Narrowness, Its Height, Its Depth...i Hear And See The Image In Front Of Me From Every Angle As If It Had Been Cast And Only The Labour Of Writing It Down Remains.

Music Is The Wine Which Inspires One To New Generative Processes, And I Am Bacchus Who Presses Out This Glorious Wine For Mankind And Makes Them Spiritually Drunken.

Music Should Strike Fire From The Heart Of Man, And Bring Tears From The Eyes Of Woman.
