Lukas Foss Quotes
Any creator owes a debt to past creation. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Anybody can put things together that belong together. to put things together that dont go together, and make it work, that takes genius like Mozarts. Yet he is presented in the play Amadeus as a kind of silly boy whom the gods loved. - Lukas Foss Quotes
As I sit down and start to work, I often panic. I stare at the empty piece of music paper. How can I say that my piece will be ready for performance next January when I do not have a recipe for making it happen? - Lukas Foss Quotes
For years that may mean imitation. Then, one day, it is like a door opening, and a new thought comes in. Why not try this instead. Suddenly he is doing something original, almost in spite of himself. - Lukas Foss Quotes

I strongly suggest that we play down basics like who influenced whom, and instead study the way the influence is transformed, in other words: how the artist made it his own. - Lukas Foss Quotes
If one uses music that one does not really love, then one will not succeed in making it ones own. - Lukas Foss Quotes
In the nineteenth century the more grandiose word inspiration began to replace the word idea in the arts. - Lukas Foss Quotes
It is obvious that anything a scientist discovers or invents is based on previous discoveries and inventions. The same applies to the arts. - Lukas Foss Quotes

Most people think an artist tries to be original, but originality is the last thing that develops in the artist. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Mozart wrote so many works in his thirty-five years that it would take a lifetime just to write out the notes. We literally do not know how he did it. - Lukas Foss Quotes
My students frequently ask what their next project should be. My advice: immerse yourself in the music you love and you will find what you want to do; you will discover your next project. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Personality is essential. It is in every work of art. When someone walks on stage for a performance and has charisma, everyone is convinced that he has personality. I find that charisma is merely a form of showmanship. Movie stars usually have it. A politician has to have it. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Since age seven, Ive been composing and have never stopped composing, yet, the creative process is as elusive to me as it has ever been. - Lukas Foss Quotes
That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it. - Lukas Foss Quotes
The best way to investigate the elusive phenomenon called the creative process may well be to target all the misconceptions, to explain what the creative process is not. - Lukas Foss Quotes
The creative act is like writing a letter. A letter is a project; you dont sit down to write a letter unless you know what you want to say and to whom you want to say it. - Lukas Foss Quotes
The fact that Stravinsky used the classics as a major influence is obvious. What is interesting is how he used them, how he turned Bach into Stravinsky. - Lukas Foss Quotes
There is another interesting paradox here: by immersing ourselves in what we love, we find ourselves. We do not lose ourselves. One does not lose ones identity by falling in love. - Lukas Foss Quotes
To come to grips with creativity, I must ask creative, adventurous questions - the kind which, in all likelihood, cannot be answered. - Lukas Foss Quotes
To me, Mozart is our Shakespeare, the one who wrote the most dramatic, psychologically most baffling music. He combined ideas that no one else would have thought of putting together. - Lukas Foss Quotes
To understand Mozarts contradictory qualities would indeed be to understand genius. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Truth implies meaning. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Truth is a big concept. - Lukas Foss Quotes
When I went back to visit my native Berlin after World War II, I noticed that the only thing I really remembered from my childhood Berlin days is the shoe store. - Lukas Foss Quotes
Why do we pigeonhole and label an artist? It is a sure way of missing the important, the contradictory, the things that make him or her unique. - Lukas Foss Quotes
