“Sibelius keeps the inspiration fresh”
“For every composer, it is imperative that inspiration does not evaporate during the most arduous times of writing. Sibelius keeps the inspiration fresh. It masterfully handles all of the tedious tasks that lie between the composer's vision and the printed page. I trust my career to Sibelius.”
Samuel Hazo, band composer
