If One Were Asked To

Composers Tend To Assume That Everyone Loves Music. Surprisingly Enough, Everyone Doesn’t.

If One Were Asked To Name One Musician Who Came Closest To Composing Without Human Flaw, I Suppose General Consensus Would Choose Johann Sebastian Bach.

There Is Something About Music That Keeps Its Distance Even At The Moment That It Engulfs Us. It Is At The Same Time Outside And Away From Us And Inside And Part Of Us. In One Sense It Dwarfs Us, And In Another We Master It. We Are Led On And On, And Yet In Some Strange Way We Never Lose Control.

The Melody Is Generally What The Piece Is All About.

I Hope My Recordings Of My Own Works Won't Inhibit Other People's Performances. The Brutal Fact Is That One Doesn't Always Get The Exact Tempo One Wants, Although One Improves With Experience.
