"Once upon a time, composers, like goldsmiths or furniture makers, were simply craftsmen, and they took pride in that distinction. They referred to themselves as masters, but only when they had earned the title. Problems started when these craftsmen…"
"Caruso. My dad loved singing opera, and he was a huge fan of Caruso. As a child, I watched the movie about Caruso's life, portrayed by Mario Lanza. It was titled 'The Great Caruso.' I vividly recall the scene with 'Ave Maria' sung with the boys'…"
I heard my teacher say that to a student who hadn't completed his assignment (a composition in Dorian mode) for the umpteenth time and this time used 'no inspiration' as an excuse. Inspiration is for amateurs.
"I second that. I was waiting for a clear melody too. When it didn't happen, I got the feeling this was a long intro. However, after a couple of minutes, the composition started to sound like an opening theme for a TV series, followed by the…"

"As usual, I only understood half of what was said, but it brought back memories of an arrangement I once created for a small barrel organ. I was quite young at the time, barely in my twenties. The organ's owner had asked for a classical arrangement…"
"I use imitations in all my works. I try to make listening as easy as possible for the audience. I mean, they might have a difficult job, or a nagging wife, or an abusive husband at home. There's no need to bother them when they're out for the…"
"Isn't that a dad joke? Or a pun? Nevertheless, about your reply, I copied that."
