The man who has the greatest joy in a symphony is:
First, the man who composes it.
Second, the conductor.
Third, the performers.
Fourth, those who might be composers of such music themselves.
Fifth, those in the audience who have been performers.
Sixth, those who are going to be.
Seventh, those who are composers of such music for other instruments.
Eighth, those who are composers of music in other arts—literature, painting, sculpture, and architecture.
Ninth, those who are performers of music on other instruments.
