You aren’t in the music business, you’re in the magic business.

3 days agoOn July 6th I fully completed composing and scoring my piano concerto…Composed and scored the last two movements in two and a half days. You can imagine what a job that was, I wrote from five in the morning till eight in the evening…While working I never feel fatigue…[it] appears only when I realize that a big labor is finished.
—Rachmaninoff, The Revision Process in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 (Grossman).
