“The present-day composer refuses to die.” – Edgard Varèse

“Music is the best!” – FZ

"My desires are simple: all I want to do is get a good performance and a good recording of everything that I ever wrote, so I can hear it. And if anybody else wants to hear it, that’s great too. Sounds easy, but it's really hard to do."
