"I am the opposed to the specialist.

I admit that a great specific technique cannot be acquired without intense practice, even at the expense of being as skilful in other, and even in related, matters.

But just as a doctor must know the whole body, so should a musician not only know harmony, or how to play the piano, or the flute, or how to conduct, and should not be called only a harmony teacher, or a pianist or a flutist, or a conductor. In order to observe the name of musician, he should not only posses a specific knowledge in one field, but he has to have an all-round knowledge of all the fields of his art."
