Durrell, Lawrence

4.
I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.
Stendhal, Henri B.

5.

Britten, Benjamin

6.
I can sing, and speak to him in many sorts of music.
William Shakespeare

I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
Nixon, Richard M.

14.
When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan's Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.
Halpern, Steven

15.
I think everyone should have a Beatles phase in their life. I think it's part of growing up in the Western world.

17.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.

18.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur

Oscar Wilde

21.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

22.
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

23.
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.
Raitt, Bonnie

24.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.
Billings, Josh

Domingo, Placido

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

31.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

32.
