Some Lukas Foss's quotes. Goto "Lukas Foss's quotation" section for more.My students frequently ask what their next project should be. My advice: immerse yourself in the music you love and you will find what you want to do; you will discover your next project.

Tags: Best, Creative, MayThe creative act is like writing a letter. A letter is a project; you don't sit down to write a letter unless you know what you want to say and to whom you want to say it.
