In my view, the composer,
just as the poet, the sculptor or the painter,
is in duty bound to serve Man, the people.

He must be a citizen first and foremost,
so that his art might consciously extol human life
and lead man to a radiant future.

The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colours or the words must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.
I think a lot of times we think of music as being different from other art forms. You would never ask a sculptor or painter, 'Go paint this because you'll get paid more,' you know what I mean?
