The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration.

  • -- Ernest Newman 欧内斯特·纽曼

伟大的作曲家不是因为受到启发而开始创作,而是因为工作而变得有灵感。贝多芬、瓦格纳、巴赫和莫扎特日复一日地埋头于手头的工作,就像会计师每天埋头于他的数字一样有条不紊。他们没有浪费时间等待灵感。
