midnight
Tone , timbre , intensity , rhythm , variety in color , all , all will be in it ; and how much more subtly expressed than by your modern orchestra , with its blare , blow , bang and scratch . And what great thoughts I have expressed ! I have gone beyond Berlioz , Wagner and Richard Strauss . I have discovered rhythms , Asiatic in origin , that will plunge you into midnight woe ; rhythms rescued from the Greeks of old , that will drive you into panting dance ; rhythms that will make drunkards of sober men , warriors of cowards , harlots of angels . I can intoxicate , dazzle , burn , madden you . Why ? Because all music is rhythm .
