"There was certainly plenty to watch and listen to. The tree which Digory had noticed was now a full-grown beech whose branches swayed gently above his head. They stood on cool, green grass, sprinkled with daisies and buttercups. A little way off, along the river bank, willows were growing. On the other side tangles of flowering currant, lilac, wild rose, and rhododendron closed them in."

Art

Brian Ferneyhough
"What makes a specific quality or quantity of innovation retain its intense newness over the years?"

Quality

Quote_1.png
Brian Ferneyhough

Creation

Quote_1.png
Brian Ferneyhough
"When I left Europe in 1987 I did so with the thought that my relevance as a composition teacher would benefit from a certain cool distance to certain tendencies I had been observing for several years with increasing disquiet."

Thought

Brian Ferneyhough
"If the work of art is to continue pursuing the vision of both being in and of the world but nevertheless in some fashion being more than just one more object to the mounting clutter, this is the specific point, I think, where this must be assured."

"I am certainly not arguing for the de facto autonomy of the individual work, even though there is much to be said for making the attempt to see it in that light as one facet of the reception process."

Work

Quote_1.png
Brian Ferneyhough
"I suppose that the scope and implications of such forces have rendered my personal accounting ritual pretty much obsolete. That's how things sometimes go."

Pretty

Brian Ferneyhough
"Actually, most things I say in public lead more or less directly to my own compositional practice, so I should be careful about generalizing lest they come back to haunt me."

Practice

Quote_1.png
Brian Ferneyhough
"Certainly being in California has encouraged a sustained commitment to rethinking the nature, purposes, and relevance of the contemporary arts, specifically music, for a society which by and large seems to manage quite well without them."

Society

Brian Ferneyhough
"This was possible only by dint of extended periods of frequently quite painful reflection and digestion."
