The Critic ~ Part 2

"I once had a pupil who had started harmony with me.  About two months later he stopped taking lessons.  He had been offered a position as second music critic on a great newspaper and was afraid too much knowledge might have unfavorable influence upon the spontaneity of his judgement.  He made a career as a critic and even as a pedagogue."
Arnold Schoenberg,
"The Blessing of the Dressing"
