Mozart: on form.

Admirer: Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?

Mozart: A symphony is a very complex musical form. Maybe start with some simple songs and work your way up to a symphony.

Admirer: But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8!

Mozart: Yes, but I never had to ask anyone how.
