***************
A symphony must
be like the world . . . It must breathe
divine delusion
***************
Never assume a
disguise unless it is a
perfect inner pose
***************
I am hitting my
head against beauty and it
is cracking anew
***************
The high clarinets’
call of love will perish in
sterile piccolos
***************
If a composer
could say what he had to say
in words he would die
***************
Conducting is a
theatrical work that takes
place in the future
***************
With the coming of
spring I renounce everything
I have realized
***************
Vanity and mere
superficiality
seduce great talent
***************
Applause is the one
guiding star for the hollow
young virtuoso
