Loyd, whose genius for inventing fresh and surprising themes and expressing them in a subtle and cryptic form has never been equalled, was content to work out his own ideas in his own way, caring little for considerations of economy and the avoidance of duals and other rather artificial canons of elegance accepted by English and German composers; and there can be no doubt that he was right to follow his peculiar bent, seeing that no other composer's problems so often give the solver impressions of wit and dry humour.
Loyd, na may likas na kakayahan para sa inventing sariwa at kataka-taka ang mga tema at expressing ang mga ito sa isang mahiwaga at misteriyoso form ay hindi nai-equalled, ay nilalaman sa trabaho ang kanyang sariling mga ideya sa kanyang sariling paraan, aasikaso kaunti para sa mga considerations ng ekonomiya at ang iwas ng duals at iba pang mga sa halip artipisyal canons ng gilas tinanggap sa pamamagitan ng English at German composers; at maaaring walang-agam-agam na siya ay karapatan na sundin ang kanyang kataka-taka bent, nakikita na walang ibang kompositor ng mga problema kaya madalas ibigay ang solver impression ng talas ng isip at matuyo katatawanan.
