Richard Strauss, on Hans Pfitzner (who regularly told interviewers how difficult it was to compose and live up to a composer's sacred calling): If he finds it so difficult, why does he bother?
Pierre Boulez, on Arvo Part: The human mind is capable of much more than Mr. Part demands.

I'd like to request the piano 4-hand arrangement of Brahms's String Sextet No. 1 in B-flat, Op. 18. It used to be in my university library but has vanished.

I'd like to request Stanford's Preludes for Piano, Set 2, Op. 179. Thanks.

I recall reading a review of a recording of this fascinating piece in which the writer noted that it's in print in England, but the score is gigantic and sells for several hundred dollars ... I believe it!
