"I see the imagination as a creative force that has united composers over the centuries, to which each composer has had miraculous access and which he has then realized over time. In each composer we find characteristics that are typical of the time in which he lived, others that are typical of the composer, and sometimes phrases, ideas, fragments that seem to emerge from time and space, into a dimension other than that of everyday life. This is where genius resides, where the connection with the divine through the creative power of the imagination has allowed composers to transcend their human nature". (Margherita Santi)
