«The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining.

When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.»
