Criticism
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I composed, I heard my music played by the orchestra within days of completion of the score. No master at a conservatory, no matter how revered, can teach as much by verbal criticism as can a cold and analytical hearing of one's own music being played.

Know

Long

Magic

Extraordinarily
