“In higher art, only that is worth being presented which has never before been presented.\u00a0 There is no great work of art which does not convey a new message to humanity; there is no great artist who fails in this respect.\u00a0 This is the code of honor of all the great art, and consequently in all great works of the great we will find that newness which never perishes, whether it be of Josquin des Pr\u00e9s, of Bach or Haydn, or of any other great master.”<\/p>\n
