  • Debussy

    A Painter in Sound

    by Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky ...
    As memory reaches back along the vista of the years, the increasing distance adds to the difficulty of seeing clearly and choosing between those incidents which make a deep impression and those which, though perhaps more important in themselves, leave no trace, and in no way influence one's development.
