"I can think of a couple of emphases that haven't been emphatic enough up to now. The first is that little notes are just as important as big notes, that they have places and that they should be put in their places. Sixteenths and eighths and quarters are not just things that come between bigger things. They are not 'introducings' or preparations or pick-ups. I get a horrible picture, from the way you sing, of little bitty eighth notes running like hell all over the place to keep from being stepped on. Millions of 'em! Meek, squeaky little things. No self-respect. Standing on corners, hiding behind doors, ducking into subway stations, peering out from under rugs. Refugees.
Dammit, you're all a bunch of Whole-Note Nazis. And dots! Poor little dots! Oh -- (I can't stand it!) I just thought of a double-dot!
Look-- this is a democracy. Little people count. They're included in the census. Eighth notes can vote. They carry ID cards. They belong."
