Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes.
From Claude Debussy
People come to music to seek oblivion: is that not also a form of deception?
The century of airplanes has a right to its own music.
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
In opera, there is always too much singing.
Music is the silence between the notes.
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.
Some people wish above all to conform to the rules, I wish only to render what I can hear. There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law.
Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.
