. . . As in science, pure music
and applied music should
go hand-in-hand. Though pure music is probably for the few, and folk music
and popular music for the many, I hoped that the various types of music
would have the power to animate or quite the intelligence and to awaken
or soothe the emotions, so helping man to understand his nature and being
and perhaps helping him to gain a semblance of balance.
