Milhaud, asked how he could keep track of the more than 400 works he had composed, answered: "C'est simple: je n'ai aucune memoire, je ne me souviens de rien; si on me joue des extraits de mes oeuvres, il me faut un moment pour retrouver l'enchainement, la trace; d'ailleurs ce qui est passe, ne m'interesse pas; je vis toujours dans l'oeuvre a venir. Si on m'envoyait dans une ile deserte, j'emporterais du papier blanc et la seule oeuvre que j'aimerais garder ce serait celle a laquelle je travaillerais alors.".
