The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all, but it is the most difficult to play.
From Richard Strauss
I may not be a first-rate composer, but I am a first-class second-rate composer.
Bear in mind that you are not making music for your own pleasure, but for the pleasure of your audience.
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.
Never let the horns and woodwinds out of your sight; if you can hear them at all, they are too loud.
