[edit] Criticism
- There is a great Man living in this country — a composer. He has solved the problem how to preserve one's self and to learn. He responds to negligence by contempt. He is not forced to accept praise or blame. His name is Ives.
- Fellow composer Arnold Schoenberg, a note in his private papers written in 1944 and found after his death. Schoenberg was not normally given to praising his contemporaries. [1]
