The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.
Writing that flirts with incoherence can just as readily flounder as writing characterized by simplicity and composure.

My first mind-set when I am out on the field is to defend well and not concede.
Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration.
Edgar Meyer's violin concerto was the first piece of contemporary music I worked on in any depth. I was 18 or 19.
The way it works: The orchestra plays a few selections of its own and I terminate the first part of the programme on piano, usually with a movement from a Mozart concerto.
