"My music wouldn't sound the way it does if I hadn't had the experience of conducting."

Experience

"The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can't tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius."

Idea

"I always had, deep down, a slight aversion toward the purely cerebral in music."

Music

"Anyone who composes and conducts at the same time is immediately suspect, because he must be faking one or the other."

Time

Concern

Idea

"There will have to be times when I'm not conducting because I'm composing. I haven't solved that problem, and perhaps I never will."

Will

Art
