Being miserable is a great catalyst for songwriting, for me anyway. I&#8217;m constantly amazed at the amount of wonderful work that Mozart did during periods when he was fairly happy. His music during those periods reflects the happiness. On the other hand, I can&#8217;t imagine that Rachmaninoff was happy when he was writing the second symphony and second piano concerto. I don&#8217;t think the anguish and angst of those melodies comes out of being peachy keen.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;
