“What is scurrilously called ragtime is an invention that is here to stay. That is now conceded by all classes of musicians...

“I've approached music with the understanding that knowledge is available regarding tones and their effect upon the body. I think the father of that knowledge was the mathematician Pythagoras who lived several thousand years ago.
