There Are Only Twelve Tones

My God, How Can Anyone Ever Be A Master Of Music?

There Are Only Twelve Tones And They Need To Be Treated Carefully.

The Reactions Music Evokes Are Not Feelings, But They Are The Images, Memories Of Feelings.

People Who Make Music Together Cannot Be Enemies, At Least While The Music Lasts.

Our Spirit Of Life Is Not Identical With That Of Our Ancestors, And Therefore Their Music, Even If Restored With Utter Technical Perfections, Can Never Have To Us Precisely The Same Meaning It Had For Them. We Cannot Tear Down The Barricade That Separates The Present World From Things And Deeds Past.
