Subject: [silence] Earle Brown
“I think in colors. I think in masses and colors and planes. I don't
start
to write a piece of music with a twelve tone row or something like
that, or
even coming up with a melody and then trying to figure out what to do
next.
I start with a total concept. And then I try to fulfill what my
imagination
has already given me inside. Mozart said that he visualized a piece
of music
almost instantly. I do that and it takes me a long time to get it
down on
paper. I change it and change it and sometimes I can't even get it on
paper.
I've experienced that over and over. But once I start thinking about
a new
piece, I get a pretty clear picture of what I'm going to do. And then
I go
into the details.”
(EB in conversation with PK – January, 2000)
