Music,
the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we
have below.
--Joseph Addison
Writing
about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really
a stupid thing to want to do.
--Elvis Costello
Music
is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think
that people own it.
--John Lennon
Mozart
has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven
the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and
sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal
peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the
storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each
represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good.
Our love is due to both.
--Henri Frederic Amiel
Today,
music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition
in which nothing will happen anymore.
--Jacques Attali
Music
washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
--Red Auerbach
