I think man has this need, and the need to
discover the future as well. The more my own composition is busy with
exploration and experimentation, the greater is my need to keep my tie
with the past which made me a musician in the first place; my tie with
Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, and Wagner and Verdi and Handel and
Schubert. Lukas Foss
