It doesn't necessarily mean at all that the composer plays his own works best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
The real composer thinks about his work the whole time; he is not always conscious of this, but he is aware of it later when he suddenly knows what he will do.
Any composer who is gloriously conscious that he is a composer must believe that he receives his inspiration from a source higher than himself.
I see myself as a composer who plays music and likes to play with other people, and not just as a solo artist.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
I think a composer is always interested in his last work.
Nobody can give a good performance unless the authors and composers have written a good part, a fact which is often overlooked.
It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak.
Today each composer is not only involved in aesthetics, but he's actually trying to create his own language.
I don't really call myself a composer.
