Quote:
"While finding my own way,
I should like not to give up anything that has ever been won in the way of
subtlety, richness and complexity; yet I retain a taste for the simple and the
vernacular. The qualities I value in music have to do with strong intent,
the interaction of the small and the large and the will to make whole what
seems disparate. What I hope continues to evolve in my work is a highly
inflected, pliable, elegant language. -Seymour Shifrin
(1926-1979)
