So it's not really about the instrument. But for me, in my thinking, the music is all about the melody. When I compose, 99 percent of the time I start with the melody.

I have never seen an adequate description anywhere of the amazement, the uncomprehending horror of the bulk of the American people which preceded the firing of that gun at Sumter.

Their protest arose from sea to sea like the clamor of a gigantic hive of frightened bees.

We are only lightly covered with buttoned cloth; and beneath these pavements are shells, bones and silence.
