When I listen to music today, it is about 99 percent classical. I rarely even listen to folk music, the music of my own specialty, because folk music is to me more limited than classical music.

I listen mostly to classical music.

I had to listen to the classical music because it calms me down, calms my nerves down.

The classical music world is so snobbish.

If Music is a Place -- then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple.
