You Probably Think Of The Orchestra As A Heterogeneous Mass Of Instruments Producing A Confused Agreeable Mass Of Sound. You Do Not Listen For Details Because You Have Never Trained Your Ears To Listen To Details.

If You Imagine That You Will Be Able To Achieve Your Ideal By Ingeniously Planning Out A Timetable With A Pen On A Piece Of Paper, You Had Better Give Up Hope At Once.if You Are Not Prepared For Discouragements And Disillusions; If You Will Not Be Content With A Small Result For A Big Effort, Then Do Not Begin.
