Contexto: Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs. I was the first composer to explore, so to speak, musical outer space.
“Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.”
As quoted by Martha Graham, in Dance Observer, Volumes 24-27 (1957), p. 5
