content: It's amazing to read that this man who makes such wonderful harmonies is himself thoroughly self-centered. He's at peace with that - he's just self-centered! There are reasons he never married, which become clear while reading this. His early life was interesting, and his description of the trials he went through to do the concert at the Acropolis are still in my mind when I listen to it. Nowadays, however, I enjoy the music and have no urge to meet the composer.
