I was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a volume of Dickinsons poetry. I came back to my hotel, read 2,000 of her poems and immediately began composing in my head. I wrote down the melodies even before I got to a piano. – Gordon Getty
When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me something that Id composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. Im the same composer I was then. – Gordon Getty
