A scarce quotation from Honegger's most frequently performed work, Pacific 231, inspired by the sound of a steam locomotive and originally entitled Mouvement Symphonique. The composer was widely recognised as a train enthusiast, once remarking 'I have always loved locomotives passionately. For me they are living creatures and I love them as others love women or horses'.
