Britten
'In the process of composition his imaginative " inner ear is listening, all the time and at full stretch, to what he is doing: I feel tolerably sure that his ideas never occur to him as anything but sheer sensuous sound, and that it is to this fact that they owe the force and freshness with which they strike the listener's ear.'
(DESMOND SHAWE TAYLOR )
