Something about hating composers/performers who revise others' works "You're like those pigeons in the park, shitting on the statues." 2. When he's cajoling the orchestra to make a great performance of the tempest he says something like "Those of you who understand music, play musically. Those of you who don't understand will never understand so I won't bother." Genius. Also, I’ve got two favorite lines from Lelio —
