Music Quotes:
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 ProkofievWe hide ourselves in our music to reveal ourselves - Jim Morrison
It is proportion that beautifies everything, the whole universe consists of it, and music is measured by it - Orlando Gibbons
Originality is the art of concealing your source.
The unconscious is the womb of all musical creation; all masterpieces are born there.
A creative artist works on his next composition because he is not satisfied with his previous one. When he loses a critical attitude towards his own work, he ceases to be an artist.
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
