Music
"You don't underestimate either players or audience in any circumstances."
Circumstance
"The establishment in Britain is certainly against the arts and against education. If something doesn't make a profit, it's invalid, and art doesn't make a profit in that sense."
Art
"But when you get a bit older, and I hate to use the word, quite a bit more established, people take more notice and conducting becomes a great deal easier. You don't have battles like you had before."
People
"I'm not actually teaching any more, but I am writing pieces for schools all the time, and for kids."
Time
"But you can't really know your audiences so well."
Audience
"I know what I want at least, and the older I get I think I'm better at getting it out of players and singers."
Want
"I'm very interested, for instance, in music in education - getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work."
Education
"At the moment, in Britain we're facing such enormous cutbacks in education programs and music programs and art programs that you feel you are knocking your head against a brick wall."
Art
"I don't see how they can with most of my pieces, but I think it's unfortunate that they can through familiarity with flashy performances of a great deal of other music."
