Willlem Jeths: A funny anecdote:

Once I composed a piece for harp, the harpist had to premiere the piece very soon, so time was precious, and of course the harpist wanted to give the best possible performance of the piece and needed to work with me on it, because of lack of time the harpist could only rehearse at 8 o’clock in the morning, I protested because of the early time, the harpist said sternly: but bakers have to get up early too! I replied: that’s why I didn’t become a baker!
