They Said It . . .
"Genius (or really great stuff - ed.) is not doing something extraordinary, simply well.......
rather........
It is doing something
simple
extraordinarily well!"
Who said this?
Please let us know here if you know.

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” Victor Hugo
“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” Aldous Huxley
“The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes – ah, that is where the art resides!” Arthur Schnabel
“Of all musicians, flautists are obviously the ones who know something we don’t.” Paul Jennings
“How wonderful opera would be if there were no singers.” Rossini

"The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead."
Igor Stravinsky, Russian Composer, 1882-1971.

Q: How do you know when a clarinettist is at your door?
A: They don't know which key to use or where to enter.

Thanks to Linda Buckham for these.
