NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

It seems hardly a year since we last celebrated International Women’s Day, but 2MBS Fine Music Sydney is proud to present two programs on 8 March featuring a diverse range of female talent. Australian composers Mary Finsterer, Liza Lim, and Bree van Reyk, as well as musicians from Ensemble Offspring, feature in Music of the Night at 10:30pm, and you can hear chamber works from an earlier era by Florence Price and Margaret Sutherland in Celebrating International Women’s Day, at 2pm. The cover feature this month marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of German composer Max Reger. Unappreciated for most of the 20th century outside German-speaking countries, he was routinely dismissed as a composer capable only of creating dense and muddy musical textures, however increasing exposure to his work in recent years has modified this view. Our new Chairman Bob Gilchrist relates how many now admire his emotional depth, pathos, and wicked sense of humour.

Lastly, a first for Fine Music Magazine. One of our listeners, Dr Derek Chan, recently sent us a poem entitled Fugue for Thought, based (very loosely) on J.S.Bach’s The Art of Fugue. To my knowledge, Fine Music Magazine has never published poems before, but we thought the good doctor’s work contributed in a light-hearted way to the resolution of questions about the history, structure and appearance of J.S. Bach’s masterpiece.

Focus on the Words

Starting in January and running through to June, in the first week of the month Treasures of the Voice will feature a series about the librettists –the wordsmiths that create the stories and the dialogue that keeps an opera or a musical moving right along while still being singable for the performers.

We started with the poet Metastasio, whose libretti, created with an ear for the virtuoso castrato or temperamental soprano, were intended more as a production resource rather than aimed at any particular production, and as a result were set repeatedly by many different composers. The focus was not, as you can guess, on deeply psychological character driven plots; instead, they tended to be heavy on distressed princesses and usurpers taking over exotic kingdoms.

Next up was Da Ponte, who differentiates characters very clearly by the way they speak in his highly detailed scripts. Any production of Don Giovanni that thinks Don Ottavio is a wimp, and that his relationship with Donna Anna is purely platonic, hasn’t paid attention to the script. As for some modern directors’ take on Zerlina-as-victim … try reading what she says (and look at the cut scene – let’s just torture Leporello for a little light comedy). There was music from his libretti for Mozart, The Marriage of Figaro, and Cosi fan Tutti, for two operas by Salieri, and for two less familiar composers.

Boito is the focus in March, a man who had the advantage of help from Shakespeare for Falstaff and Otello, and who made some very interesting decisions about reordering the tragedy for maximum operatic impact. We move on in April to co-writers Meilhac and Halévy who created witty libretti for Offenbach, and highly dramatic ones for Bizet’s Carmen and Massenet’s Manon, among others.

May’s program features W. S. Gilbert, the librettist who could rhyme three syllables of English when pushed to it: the Major General’s song from Pirates of Penzance being the supreme example, with three syllable rhymes to every line, even if the Major General must think quite hard to find them all.

Gilbert also expected impeccable diction from his cast, especially in such moments as the patter trio from Ruddigore:

“This particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn’t generally heard, and if it is, it doesn’t matter matter matter matter matter matter matter matter!”

We finish in June with Stephen Sondheim, who found inspiration variously in the world of fairy tales, ancient Greek comedy, and in ordinary American lives, with thanks, once again, to Shakespeare. His ability to create the deprived and violent street gangs of New York’s West Side through what they say and sing (OK, and how they dance), arguably betters Shakespeare’s more sophisticated brawlers.

Treasures of the Voice, 1:00 pm on the first Saturday of the month.

The female crescendo

Iris Zeng looks at International Women’s Day

Having gone to an all-girls’ school, I met a fair share of our species. Some were fierce, others mild and maternal. Pinned outside the philosophy club was a poster, known these days as a ‘meme’:

I’m a female.

Fe = Iron

Male = Man

Therefore, I am Iron Man.

One doesn’t need to be a chemistry or Marvel Comics nerd to appreciate the mettle of women.

When we think of famous women in history, Marie Curie, Jane Austen, and Rosa Parks come to mind. Defying the social norms of their time, these women made valuable contributions to society. Curie, given the choice of becoming either a governess or teacher, went on to win two Nobel prizes (the only female to do so); Parks, mother of the American civil rights movement, helped desegregate city buses in Alabama during the 1950s; and Austen, like her novels’ heroines, pursued happiness in an otherwise limiting environment. She was also a keen pianist, noting in Emma: “Without music, life would be a blank to me.”

In classical music, important female pioneers included Hildegard von Bingen, a German nun, who composed religious pieces in the 12th century; and of course, Clara Schumann, the celebrated pianist and wife of Robert Schumann. At the time, Clara was more famous than her husband. Dubbed ‘Queen of the Piano’, she continued touring and teaching piano during her marriage.

Yet up until the 20th century, a professional career in music was rare for women (private performances at home were acceptable, but not in public). They were twice banned from singing in churches by two different Popes, and for centuries their compositions were generally deemed inferior to men’s.

Nevertheless, that didn’t stop Florence Price from becoming the first African American woman whose symphonies were played by a major orchestra. One of her last works before she died in 1953 was Five Folksongs in Counterpoint, the final being Swing Low Sweet Chariot Nor was Margaret Sutherland discouraged, despite accepting her domestic duties as a homemaker. Her Sonata for violin and piano was praised by her teacher as “the best work by a woman I know.”

Fast forwarding to modern times, female voices are becoming stronger. Although only about 17 per cent on music publisher lists and five per cent on concert programs is music composed by women, progress has been made. To celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, 2MBS Fine Music Sydney has two programs dedicated to a diverse range of female talent. Australian composers Mary Finsterer, Liza Lim, and Bree van Reyk, as well as musicians from Ensemble Offspring, feature in Music of the Night at 10:30pm, and you can hear chamber works from an earlier era by Florence Price and Margaret Sutherland in Celebrating International Women’s Day, at 2pm.

A Life of Max Reger

Robert Gilchrist reflects on the 150th anniversary of the birth of Max Reger

The German composer and musician Max Reger was both a conservative and a visionary, looking back to the musical forms of the 18th century and forward to the harmonic adventures of the 20th. Reger inherited the gifts of his musician father, quickly developing an ambition to become a composer. This resulted from hearing Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and Parsifal during his first pilgrimage to Bayreuth.

Reger took a teaching job at the age of 17 at the music conservatory in Wiesbaden. It was a congenial activity for him and his pupils included composers such as Schulhoff and Schoek. After military service, Reger suffered a nervous breakdown, returning in 1898 to his parental home where his spirits and his productivity improved.

This time in history saw rapid urbanisation, social upheavals, and the burgeoning industrial sector calling into question the old sociopolitical orders of Europe. Reger responded with an unprecedented work ethic that produced 146 opus numbers and a large amount of uncatalogued music.

A splendid pianist, concert tours formed an integral part of Reger’s life. A tour in 1907 to Karlsruhe led to Reger securing the role of Professor and Music Director at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig. Only a year later he jumped ship, accepting the position of Court Conductor at Meiningen, which he held until the beginning of 1914.

Throughout his career, Reger had a highly acrimonious relationship with the musical press. Foremost amongst his critics was Rudolf Louis who considered Reger’s greatest music as belonging to “a cult of ugliness for its own sake”. After a particularly savage review, Reger famously responded: “I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review before me. In a moment, it will be behind me.” A Viennese critic kindly offered this impression of the young Max Reger: “In so many ways, he reminded me of a thick-set German student who drank from morning until night and wrote colossal fugues with three subjects whilst incessantly consuming cigars.”

Much influenced by Bach, Reger excelled at organ music. He was virtually the only German composer writing significant works for the instrument, in an era dominated by French organ composers. For most of the 20th century, Reger’s music wasn’t appreciated outside Germanspeaking countries. He was routinely and unfairly dismissed as a composer capable only of creating dense and muddy musical textures, however increasing exposure to his work in recent years has modified this view and many now admire his emotional depth, pathos, and wicked sense of humour.

Although much respected by Arnold Schoenberg, Reger was savagely criticised for music that was difficult to categorise and label. In the annals of musical history, he has, undeservedly, become a mere footnote. Born in 1873, Max Reger died on 11 May 1916.

Fugue for thought

The steed rises like brume   from the moor with breath blue and billowing     from the mane   clawed by the moon.   This locomotive burns   towards the station –   it’s here! at the door          stamping

g  n  a  w  i  n  g     splitting the wood.   Startled, the candle hisses    as hands stiffened by time   and gnarled like ginger   cobble together a testament    for the next generation.

The passing crowd says:   “The fugue was music in which   voices entered, one by one   and the audience left, one by one.   And you’re writing more?   You’re Baching mad!        Get rid of that harpsichord –   wheel in the pianoforte   for Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca   and Beethoven’s Fur Elise

When the world says    you’re dead, lie down! ”

Bizet as they say, it’s nonsense –   they think Puccini is pasta    and Satie is peanut sauce.   They sit on their sackbuts   making viol chatter.   They call my work ♯, they call my work ♭,   but I think it’s super ♮ because it’s  J  S   B  A  C  H !

Chinless wonders are vulgar,    not Elgar, best kept at Brahm’s length   lest I go insane – for their opinions   Chopin change too much   like the blustery moods of spring.

I’m Heracles, marching to Prokofiev’s   Montagues and Capulets, and I’ll Handel the monster Fugue   with the poise of a feather    and élan of Prussian ink.   I’ll dig my heals into the hide,   pull its horns in the shape of a heart,   and resurrect it from extinction.   I’ll make it soar like Byrd but more   magnificently than before,   and though I’ll die and lose these eyes,   I’ll Ravel amidst the sombre stars   with all those lauded gods.

Are you Rachmaninov to step

In the Hall of the Mountain King alongside me as your guide,   with Greensleeves rolled up    and bravado of William Tell’s Overture?

Like Holst’s Planets, we turn away   from Claire de Lune and plunge into darkness.

Alien body parts are wet and writhing.   Cautiously, we study them    as we would  Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition,  each more twisted than the last.   Behold, the Hydra Fugue!

A scalp of tentacles spits and hisses    at our frozen faces.

A Schumann the worst,   we confront our fate…

Dr Derek Chan ruminates on Bach’s The Art of Fugue

JS Bach…

Orphaned by ten

Widowed at thirty-five

A vilomah of ten children    Now, a bodach going blind …

My eyes are arid with salt   my heart becomes a blizzard.   What shepherd leaves his lambs?   Still, I hear the distant knell   of his Pachelbel...ringing, Haydn in woe as in every Fugue to remind me what truly matters...

Life is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.   Nature conducts her rendition   weather loved or loathed by the audience.

From The Rites of Spring by Stravinsky   to Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Madame Butterfly under an autumn moon   to winter Walking in the Air with The Snowman.

But Nature’s no chandelier in the plafond.   She’s Damocles’ sword   poised above the stalls.   Plotting the finale, she asks:   Surely, they’ll right their wrongs          when they can’t stand life on their knees…?

Hail, the Apocalypse Fugue   come to all, big or small   with four great horses ridden out.   At last, the Black steed crashes   through my door with the bluster    of the 1812 Overture.   The hour breaks.

I’m on his back.    You can make me out.   Where am I going exactly?   That, I cannot tell you…   Alas, my friend    ‘tis where I leave you   to ponder this

Aretha Franklin - An Icon

Louise Levy looks at the ‘Queen of Soul’

Born with an amazing voice, Aretha Franklin grew up surrounded by music, especially by her mother who was an accomplished piano player and vocalist. Franklin began singing when she was nine, and around this time began to learn the piano - by ear!

Her life changed when she was 18 and she walked into New York’s Columbia Records to record with the Ray Bryant Combo. Even at 18 her voice was astonishing and powerful, although Columbia did not have any idea of her future. A year later in 1961, Franklin was declared ‘New-Star Female Vocalist’ in the DownBeat Critics Poll, a measure of general agreement for the jazz press.

In late February of 1962, a month before she turned 20, she appeared for a week at The Village Gate. She shared the billing with pianist and composer, Thelonious Monk who, like her, was an extraordinary talent. Early in the year, Franklin had signed to the roster of Columbia Records. In July, she sang with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at the Newport Jazz Festival.

During her time with Columbia, she leaned into jazz as a signal of adult pop culture, with the genre central to her musicianship. Franklin enjoyed a healthy relationship with jazz, beginning with her self-titled Columbia debut on which she recorded Who Needs You? Over the next few years, she released a series of albums that included performances of Love for Sale, Misty, For All We Know and dozens of other standards. She performed with jazz musicians such as Kenny Burrell, Milt Hinton, Ray Bryant, and George Duvivier.

In 1966, Franklin left Columbia and signed with Atlantic Records, where with her new partner, Jerry Wexler, she produced some of her best work and recorded her biggest hits. She later recorded the jazz album on Atlantic titled Soul 69, which featured songs such as Crazy He Calls Me and was supported by jazz greats like Ron Carter, Joe Zawinul and Grady Tate – on all these recordings, Franklin accompanied herself on piano and surrounded herself with many jazz musicians.

In the political arena, Franklin was actively involved in the civil rights movement through her music and personal connections. She helped pay for free concerts, housed activists, and helped fundraise. In 1967, Respect became the anthem of the civil rights campaign and the feminist movement.

Aretha Franklin was known as the ‘Queen of Soul’. In the 1998 Grammy Awards, she stood in for Luciano Pavarotti when he was suddenly taken ill, performing the aria Nessun Dorma as a tenor, a performance seen by a billion viewers, and to an absolute standing ovation.

In 2005 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from G.W.Bush. President Barack Obama wrote “Nobody embodies more fully the connection between the African American spiritual, the blues, R&B, rock and roll – the way that hardship and sorrow were transformed into something full of beauty, vitality, and hope. American history wells up when Aretha sings.”

Aretha Franklin died in August 2018 at the age of 76 She earned a posthumous Pulitzer Prize, receiving the special award for her ‘indelible contribution to American music and culture for more than five decades’. Her famous legacy of music spans almost 50 years. She achieved milestones as the first woman in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and having a song 73 times in the Billboard Top 100. The 2021 biopic Respect followed Franklin’s life as a child prodigy, a rising star to international success, and her family and abusive marriage. In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked Franklin at number one on its list of the ‘200 Greatest Singers of All Time’.

Such hits as Respect, Baby I Love You, A Natural Woman and Think continue to move new generations of listeners.

Presenter profilePeter Poole

With family connections to the author Ethel Turner, whose book Seven Little Australians was first published in 1893, Peter’s interests would be expected to be more literary than musical. His great grandmother’s iconic book has been continually in print for over 100 years, was adapted as a play, a film, a BBC television series, and a much-loved TV series for the ABC. A musical was produced in the 1980s, and has been performed at an amateur level many times since, with former 2MBS presenter Anne-Louise Luccarini directing on one occasion, and Peter on stage in another.

Peter’s long-standing interest in radio began as a child in the country listening to the Argonaut’s Club and to Sunday morning classical favourites on the ABC with his father. He later volunteered at 2RPH for 20 years, reading newspapers and magazines. An accountant by profession, he also produced his own program on personal investment for the station.

Peter auditioned and began as a presenter at Fine Music in 2016. He also programs and presents the occasional Sunday Morning Music and is a regular presenter of FM Drive. Soon after he arrived at Fine Music, he found himself co-opted to the Finance Committee, and is our current Treasurer.

While never involved in musical competition as a child, Peter sees the great opportunity provided by eisteddfods to give young musicians performance opportunities. In recent years he has adjudicated Sydney Eisteddfod News Reading events at the station, as well as session managing many music events.

Peter played piano and oboe at school, but his enduring love is singing. He started in school choirs and then progressed to musical theatre (particularly G&S). He sang Messiah with the Combined Churches Choir and then joined Sydney

Philharmonia Choirs in 2004. “Due to the professional standard required and the repertoire we perform, it is hugely rewarding to work with leading conductors such as Simone Young and Vladimir Ashkenazy, some amazing soloists and the professional musicians of the SSO,” he says. Highlights of his time with the choir include a tour to London in 2010 where he sang in Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral, supporting Bryn Terfel (for The Damnation of Faust) in Melbourne, being part of the SOH 40th Anniversary concert in front of Princess Mary, and last year’s tour to sing Verdi’s Requiem in Christchurch. Rehearsing on-line during Covid was challenging, so returning to live performances in the restored Opera House is a great joy.

Of his involvement with Fine Music, Peter comments that his role means he is constantly learning about music. He relishes the challenge posed in preparing scripts for programs with more unfamiliar music. “Music has such power to soothe, uplift, inspire or even to heal, so I’d like to think we provide an important lifeenhancing service.”

Outside the demands of 2MBS and Philharmonia commitments, Peter enjoys travel, and is visiting the UK this year to tour famous gardens and WWI battlefields, but after Covid put a stop to a choir tour to Leipzig, a visit there is still on his bucket list. He also has the excitement of a daughter’s wedding later this year.

CD REVIEWS

Paul Stanhope: Three Quartets

Australian String Quartet

ABC ABCL0034

The Australian composer Paul Stanhope is the focus of a new recording from the Australian String Quartet. Composed between 2008 and 2015, Stanhope’s three quartets are an important part of the string quartet repertoire in Australia today. The first is titled Elegies and Dances, but the heart of the piece is a lullaby. The second string quartet was written for the Pavel Haas Quartet and its four movements interpret aspects of the life of Haas, a Czech composer who was murdered at Auschwitz. The third quartet, subtitled From the Kimberley, has been inspired by Stanhope’s engagement with the First Nations people of North Western Australia.

There is a programmatic element to the work, detailing the campaign by the Aboriginal warrior, Jandamarra, to protect his people in the face of colonisation. The second movement contains an Aboriginal melody that has been passed to Stanhope for this work. The last part is an homage to the many rivers of the Kimberley and the life the water brings to the land. The recording is brilliant and the playing of the Australian String Quartet engaging. A highly recommended recording from an important voice in Australian music.

Love Letters

Compositions For Solo Piano

Some purists prefer artists to stay in their lane, but often when they venture out of that tried and tested territory, we hear another side of their superb musicianship. Such is the case in the new recording of Sydney-based jazz pianist Tim Bruer. Essentially fully written compositions, they give the jazz musician the chance to create music with the option of editing, which isn’t possible in the realtime process of improvisation that is central to jazz practice. However, there are some jazz influences sprinkled about in Love letter #6, essentially a jazz waltz, and in Tim’s Pop Song Love Songs #7 and #9 are original improvisations that Bruer once

recorded and then transcribed. No mean feat capturing spontaneously conceived music and getting it down on paper, as Bruer acknowledges in his liner notes. A standout track is the brief inspirational Love song #5, subtitled Elegy for Biddy Composed after returning from a cathartic pilgrimage in Spain as part of his grieving for his late mother, it perfectly captures the album’s theme. Changing lanes, Bruer has delivered a stellar album full of warmth, understatement, and effortless flow with a unique rhythmic sensibility that is best listened to in its entirety.

Netzel, Sandström & Tarrodi: Piano Concertos

Peter Friis Johansson, piano; Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra; Ryan Bancroft, conductor BIS Records BIS-2576

The Swedish pianist, Peter Friis Johansson, has combined with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra to bring us three premiere recordings of Swedish concertos, two modern, one from the early 20th Century. Most well-known of the composers is Sven-David Sandström, whose Five pieces for piano and orchestra dates from 2017. This work is robust, virtuosic and energetic, full of contrasts of dynamic and mood. The last work on the disc is the Piano concerto no 1 by Andrea Tarrodi. Subtitled Stellar Clouds, the work dates from 2015, a moody textural piece that is thoroughly engaging across its seven movements.

Alternately virtuosic and filmic, it lives up to its evocative title. The first work on the recording is the Piano concerto by Laura Netzel, who was one of Sweden’s most performed composers at the beginning of the 20th century, although known primarily for salon miniatures. The concerto is Netzel’s largest work, and it was unfinished at her death. Johansson has completed Netzel’s concerto adding just 116 bars to ensure the structure of the work will satisfy the listener. This recording highlights an ongoing and thriving musical culture in Sweden and is highly recommended.

Micaëla gives José a letter from his mother. In a factory struggle, Carmen stabs another woman and José is made to guard her. When Carmen flirts with him, he allows her to escape and is jailed. At an inn, the bullfighter Escamillo propositions Carmen who rejects him. Carmen persuades José to desert and join her smuggler friends. On their march to the border, Carmen becomes tired of José’s jealousy. Carmen foretells death in the cards. Micaëla tells José his mother is dying and they leave, but José vows to return for Carmen. She, however, follows Escamillo to the bullfights in Seville. José returns and, when Carmen refuses him, stabs her.

Set in Paris in the early 1700’s, Adriana Lecouvreur rose from rags to riches as the most famous actress of her day. She loves a solider, Maurizio, who has not told her he is the Count of Saxony. They agree to meet after her performance and she puts violets in his breast pocket as a token of affection. Another wanting Maurizio’s affections is the Princess de Bouillon. Maurizio gives her the violets to thank her for her help at court but declines her advances. Adriana and the Princess realise they are after the same man. The rivalry between them leads to a cunning and tragic ending for one of them.

Russian born Ninetta is the widow of an Italian prince. Disguised as a young man, she arrives at a fashionable beach hotel in Sorrento, where she arouses the interest of the female guests. Baron Mörsburg recognises her but remains silent. The marriage of Ferdinand and Adelheid is due to take place that day. Ferdinand’s widowed mother, Anastasia, and Adelheid’s father Prosper, a widower, had been prevented from marrying when young but, earlier that day, have married. Consul Rübke, who is in love with Adelheid, happily declares that the couple cannot be married as they are now stepbrother and stepsister. The only answer is for the parents to divorce but the only reasons allowed would be infidelity or bodily assault. They will not divorce under false pretences.

Later, Ninetta appears as herself and takes a walk on the beach with Cassim Pascha, a Russian former diplomat who has arrived as part of a circus. There is talk of robberies and assaults taking place and when Cassim returns without Ninetta, but holding her cane, the guests are convinced that he is the robber. The police are called and he is accused of murdering Ninetta and other guests. Cassim declares that he is the owner of the hotel. Ninetta appears again as a young man. At a ball in the banqueting room, Baron Mörsburg declares that the charming Ninetta, to whom all the men were attracted, is a man, and the handsome man, whom the ladies desired, is really a woman. Anastasia gives her husband, Prosper, a box on the ear and the baron exclaims, ‘Bravissimo! That is the reason for divorce!’ The young couple will be free to marry; Cassim and Ninetta realise that they are cousins.

Set in Paris of 1750, the charming Countess (nicknamed Célimène) is courted by 12 suitors (the dozen) who are grouped in three sets: four adolescents, four young men and four old men. Each believes that he is the favoured one. Her widowed sister, the Baroness, is most disapproving, particularly as the Countess is betrothed to the impoverished Commander. He, however, is quite happy with the arrangement as he likes living on the estate owned by the two sisters and does not mind the Countess indulging in her flirtations.

Another young suitor arrives on the scene, the Chevalier. The Countess decides to have some fun but, when the Chevalier learns that she intends to marry the Commander, he challenges the Commander to a duel. The 12 suitors divide into two groups to form seconds for the duellists. The Commander loses the duel and, not wanting to be separated from the estate, turns his attention to the Baroness. The Chevalier disillusioned by the Countess, also turns his attention to the Baroness, who is most amused. The Countess then confesses that she had meant to offer her hand to the Commander. Beside him, without her heart stolen, she can be free and happy.

AMOR/ALCESTIS: Lydia Teuscher, sop Salzburg Hofmusik/Wolfgang Brunner. cpo 555 288-2 1:56 Endimione, a shepherd, is the love interest of Nice despite her vow of virginity as a follower of Diana (goddess of the hunt). Amor, the god of love but here disguised as the hunter Alcestis, encourages them but Endimione rejects Nice, claiming that his only interests are hunting and a quiet life. Disappointed that he has been thwarted, Amor plans revenge. This involves Diana’s becoming attracted to Endimione, as she discovers him sleeping in the forest while she is out hunting. She becomes jealous when she learns that she is competing with Nice, and this turns to despair when Amor/Alcestis tells Diana that Endimione has been killed in an accident. Diana demands to see the body, whereupon Amor reveals himself and is celebrated as the mightiest of all gods: love conquers all. Diana and Endimione are united, and Nice is freed by Diana to pursue whomever else she chooses. Incidental music to Zaïre, P13. Collegium Aureum.

“Real music isn’t about power. It’s not about trying to get famous or popular. If those are your goals, they’re completely contrary to the art of making music.”
