indeed!
in fact, i heard frank zappa say this *waaaaaay* back in the 1970's;
he was quoting someone, but i don't know whom..... i vaguely remembered
him
mentioning either varése or slonimsky in the same breath.
i did see (-but-) on the net that someone attributed this to ernest
hemingway, who mouthed it when asked what he thought of varése's piece,
'ionisation'.
best,
