Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

He didn't believe in the establishment
He didn't believe in bourgeois convention
He didn't believe in beethoven or

Always regarded by some people as a personal attack

He hated to appear in public
Hated to conduct
Hated to play the piano at concerts

No one was ever sure whether the spites 
With which debussy armed his
Volatile senibilities were activated by 
A savage insensitivity, or by the
Holy egoism of genius
