[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

I think Tovey has a brief essay on the "Namensfeier" so apparently he thinks it is better than its reputation (but I admittedly do not remember how the piece sounds like).
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.
- Blaise Pascal
