Schoenberg always complained that
his American pupils didn’t do
enough work.
There was one girl in
the class in particular
who, it is
true, did
almost no work at all.
He
asked her one day
why she didn’t accomplish more.
She
said, “I
don’t have any time.”
He said,
“How many hours are there
in the day?” She
said,
“Twenty-four.” He said,
“Nonsense:
there are as
many hours in a day
as you put into it.”
