Music

There once was a brainy baboon who always breathed down a bassoon for he said, It appears that in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune.
- Pound, Ezra
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
Joel, Billy

2.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

3.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin

4.
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

5.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

6.
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Camus, Albert

7.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

8.
The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
Steiner, George

9.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

10.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

11.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

12.
It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites --opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity --where energies flow smoothly in one direction --there will be much doing but no music.
Hoffer, Eric

13.
The author's conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
Pound, Ezra

14.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner

15.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

16.
Musical people are so absurdly unreasonable. They always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf.
Wilde, Oscar

17.
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas

18.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

19.
Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Carlyle, Thomas

20.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur

21.
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.

22.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

23.
I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.
Luther, Martin

24.
There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

25.
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Szell, George

26.
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro

27.
If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Carlyle, Thomas

28.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

29.
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel

30.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

31.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

32.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

33.
We are aware that the conductor is not really making the music, it is making him -- if he is relaxed, open and attuned, then the invisible will take possession of him; through him, it will reach us.
Brook, Peter (Stephen Paul)

34.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence

35.
Words are poor interpreters in the realms of emotion. When all words end, music begins; when they suggest, it realizes; and hence is the secret of its strange, inexpressible power.
Haweis, H. R.

36.
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas

37.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

38.
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest

39.
I think everyone should have a Beatles phase in their life. I think it's part of growing up in the Western world.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

40.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Keats, John

41.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Carey, Mariah

42.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

43.
It was called the Backstreet Market, and it was just like a local hangout. That was where the kids would drive their cars, hang out with their convertibles and listen to music. That's how we got Backstreet. We put Boys on it, because no matter how old we get, we'll always be boys.
Richardson, Kevin

44.
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
John Cage

45.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

46.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

47.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

48.
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.

49.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

50.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham
