The Fact That Stravinsky Used

I Don't Dare Postulate About Science, But I Know That It Takes Both Emotion And Intellect In Order For Art To Happen.

It Is Obvious That Anything A Scientist Discovers Or Invents Is Based On Previous Discoveries And Inventions. The Same Applies To The Arts.

In The Nineteenth Century The More Grandiose Word Inspiration Began To Replace The Word Idea In The Arts.

I Strongly Suggest That We Play Down Basics Like Who Influenced Whom, And Instead Study The Way The Influence Is Transformed, In Other Words: How The Artist Made It His Own.

If One Uses Music That One Does Not Really Love, Then One Will Not Succeed In Making It One's Own.
