Schoenberg on Ives




There is a great Man living in this Country – a composer.  He has solved the problem how to preserve one's self-esteem and to learn.  He responds to negligence by contempt.  He is not forced to accept praise or blame.  His name is Ives.
– Arnold Schoenberg
quoted in Henry & Sydney Cowell,
