Our music is in no way inferior to other music as far as good music is concerned. It is well known that if an artist has the firm determination to work, they can overcome any and all of their difficulties and problems. We have no problem which is insurmountable. Let us work in unity and diligence. What makes an artist great and testifies to his or her greatness is their aspirations for the well-being of their audience, and the practical achievement of these same aspirations for his or her own benefit and for that of future generations. Unity gives strength and assures success.
