"The great composer does not set out 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. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration."
–– Ernest Newman (1868-1959), English music critic and musicologist
