"Great music is that which
penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical
music never leaves the memory."
"A love song is
just a caress set to music." "I have my own
particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow,
gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all
places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their
universality."
"In
music the passions enjoy themselves."
"A
painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on
silence."
"The
man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his
spirit are dull as night. And his affections dark as Erebus."
"If
a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to
say it in music."
"Bach
opens a vista to the universe. After experiencing him, people feel there
is meaning to life after all."
"A
jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges." |
