Only through time time is conquered
All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.
I would give my best quartet for a good razor.
I cannot work and listen to Wagner at the same time, nor Mahler, nor Beethoven's late quartets. I enjoy listening to Chopin's piano music when I work.
The Quartets have been a major part of my work.
Beethoven's string quartets express pain itself; it is not MY pain.
The past and future Are conquered, and reconciled.
There are no more barbershop quartets wearing boaters, even though I still like them. Life goes on.
The fascination with the music stayed with me for years and I wanted to find out why I liked it so much and to learn the grammar of it, and that's why I tried to write the sheet music down. Writing it down gave me some ideas of other versions of the music and I wrote the first string quartets and piano pieces based on transcriptions.
Beethoven's last quartets were written by a deaf man and should only be listened to by a deaf man.
As an improviser I'm now pretty comfortable with trios, so I'm thinking of working up to quartets.
And the end and the beginning where always there, before the beginning and after the end.
A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)
There is, it seems to us, At best, only a limited value In the knowledge derived from experience.
In order to arrive at what you are not, you must go through the way in which you are not.
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well By the purification of the motive In the ground of our beseeching
I love to write quartets. One could say that this is a mania.
I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
