Tradition Is Not The Worship

Tradition Is Not The Worship Of Ashes, But The Preservation Of Fire.

What I Wanted And What I Visualized While Composing Has Not Always Been Realized.

It Is Always The Same With Me; Only When I Experience Something Do I Compose, And Only When Composing Do I Experience! After All, A Musician's Nature Can Hardly Be Expressed In Words.

To Write A Symphony Is, For Me, To Construct A World.

The Longer You Live And The More You Learn, The More Clearly You Will Feel The Difference Between The Few Men Who Are Truly Great And The Mere Virtuosi.
