Melody Is The Essence Of

I Never Lie Down At Night Without Reflecting That, Young As I Am, I May Not Live To See Another Day.

I Am Never Happier Than When I Have Something To Compose, For That, After All, Is My Sole Delight And Passion

You Know That I Immerse Myself In Music, So To Speak- That I Think About It All Day Long- That I Like Experimenting- Studying- Reflecting.

It Is When I Am, As It Were, Completely Myself, Entirely Alone, And Of Good Cheer.....that Ideas Flow Best And Most Abundantly. Whence And How They Come, I Know Not, Nor Can I Force Them.

All I Insist On, And Nothing Else, Is That You Should Show The Whole World That You Are Not Afraid. Be Silent, If You Choose; But When It Is Necessary, Speak—and Speak In Such A Way That People Will Remember It.
