"I must say that I tended to rise to the occasion more when there was a programmatic theme, and you can start to visualize things easier that was as opposed to going from one tune to another, without ever getting anywhere. If you are thinking about writing a suite then it's more of an inspirational challenge I think. I must be honest and say that I did those four Moon Suite pieces very quickly. It wasn't unusual for everything to be last minute and I was constantly finishing off the last one for the copyists to be able to bring it to the studio half an hour before the end of the session."
