A moment of joy?
A moment of joy.
Perhaps my greatest moments of joy were sometimes I would leave the turmoil and the anxiety and the trouble of Russia and dash off to Paris to recreate myself.
And in that, it was an unending carnival of epicurean lassitude.
And there I could soothe the pricklings of my skin with sumptuous entertainments.
I could fill my soul with...
The languorous pleasures of a Byzantine concupiscence.
That's marvellous.
I love the audience reception.
Music is the greatest of all the pleasures.
May I just say that when inspiration overtakes you,
The feeling is so extraordinary.
You can hardly think.
You forget everything.
Your entire being trembles and writhes, and you can hardly set down thoughts.
One idea presses so upon the other, and you're mad with it.
And it's so powerful as a feeling, so creative, that if it were to continue unbroken, you wouldn't be able to live for a single day.
The strings would snap, and the instrument would shatter.
It is a wonderful feeling.
A moment of sadness for you.
