I don't use old music.

I listen to all kinds of music - new music, old music, music of my colleagues, everything.

I was fifteen years old, and I hardly knew how to play a simple Bach prelude on the piano when I began to compose music, and at the most advanced level. I had never studied such things as harmony.

I don't really listen to my old music.

Very old music is, like, 11th century in my mind. That's very old.

Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.
