Debussy was looking all his life for something new to introduce into modern music; and Scriabin once told me personally, "Something is missing in our music, it has become so mechanical. The whole process of composition nowadays is mechanical; how can we introduce a spirit into it?" And I have often thought that if Scriabin, with his free character and beautiful personality, had lived longer, he could have introduced a new strain of music into the modern world. |
