- I think it was Roger Sessions who told about somebody -- Schnabel's wife? --
- who referred to composers as people who have "Noten im Kopf".

- You'll probably find there a a lot of people who have mental music running
- just about all the time -- like nearly every waking moment -- in a very
- detailed way. I know I do. Right at this moment it's that song "Little Boxes",
- in the recording that got played a lot on the radio in the 60's. (I just got
- back from California last night :-)).

- Seriously, it's very weird when you start hearing tunes and passages you've
- never heard before...
