"I think that inspiration doesn't exist. I prefer Stravinski's way:  he thinks that composing music is a regular exercise to do every day.  Perhaps, you go through a particular period: you think it's an inspired  period; exploit this moment, but I think that a great piece (with a  great orchestration, a good timbric fusion) is the result of an hard  work. Listening, Learning, Reading and finally Writing Music: it's my  approach" -- Francesco Lettera
