"I feel that the composition of tonal music is a reflection of one's soul. Once there is inspiration, I must get the composition out, whether there is a commission for it.


Sometimes the inspiration for a piece has been kept for
years in the heart. After experiencing much pain and new
environments, I revise the music and finally arrive at the
destination."


 "The process of composition is filled with joy and sorrow. It all depends on whether the influence from the environment at that time was peaceful or tragic. Furthermore, during composition, the composer's feelings are affected by the nature of the piece. On top of these, the surrounding also affects the composer for better or for worse.

 

Honestly, there is more sorrow than joy. However, one must remember that composition is writing about one's life. All the events are recorded in the piece. The painful process continues right till the end of the act of composition, during which time, one heaves a sigh of relief and enjoys the pleasure of a burden lifted away. The pleasure of the first performance is simply indescribable."






"I think it is a great enjoyment to compose music. Writing music regularly is like keeping a diary, keeping a record of feelings and experiences. A composer's feelings are reflected in his compositions. It becomes a record of his life, events and memories."
