The Work I've Done Is

The Hardest Thing About Traveling Is That Mostly You Get To A Point - And It Always Happens On Every Tour - Where You Can Choose Between Eating And Sleeping, But You Can't Do Both.

But The Difference Between The Little Pieces And The Big Pieces - I'm Not Actually Sure Which Are The Little Pieces. With Some Of The Big Pieces, It's A Lot Of Musical Running Around, Whereas The Little Pieces, You Can Say Everything You Want To Say.

Satyagraha Is An Opera Which I Wrote For The Netherlands Opera, So It Uses An Orchestra Of Around Fifty, A Chorus Of Forty, And There Are About Seven Soloists. The Opera ... Satyagraha Means Truthful, So It Was A Name [mahatma] Gandhi Used To Describe His Civil Disobedience Movement.

My Biggest Problem About Writing Is Whenever I Write Piano Pieces, Because I Then Have To Learn To Play Them, Which Is Sometimes Not So Easy.

I'd Say The Differences Are More Interesting Than The Similarities At This Point. Certainly No One Would Ever Mistake My Music For Steve's [ Reich].
