(Avoid) smashing the audience over the head repeatedly with your hysteria, or talking down to them from your high mountain-top of obviously superior intellect. Heres a message to all of my musical Byrons and Einsteins: you have to decide whether it is your goal to indulge yourself, or your audience. Yes, you must have deep emotions and you must impart a deep sense of intelligence - but even more importantly, you must have artistic maturity. A sense of proportion can balance the poles, which results in a work that is a monument to both expression and form, like Beethovens 5th symphony, or Ravels piano concerto in G. - Thomas Goss
