The Holy Egoism Of Genius |
Debussy didn’t believe in god. |
He didn’t believe in the Establishment. |
He didn’t believe in bourgeois convention. |
He didn’t believe in Beethoven or Wagner. |
He believed in… Debussy. |
Debussy understood that a work of art, or an effort to create beauty, |
was 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. |
He preferred cats to people. |
No one was ever sure whether the spites with which Debussy armed his volatile |
sensibilities were activated by a savage insensitivity, or by the holy egoism |
of genius. |
