    Quotations   -   Music Composition

    Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret  -  J.S. Bach
     

    It is the duty of the composer to serve his fellow man, to beautify human life and point the way to a radiant future. Such is the immutable code of the artist as I see it  -  Sergei Prokofiev

    It is proportion that beautifies everything, 

    the whole universe consists of it, and music is measured by it  -  Orlando Gibbons

    The real authenticity we recognize is when the person is totally involved. If the art is created with 
    the whole person, then the work will come out whole  -  Stephen Nachmanovitch


    Originality is the art of concealing your source
     

    The unconscious is the womb of all musical creation; all masterpieces are born there.
