Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
Music is the strongest form of magic.
Think of a musical as a string of pearls. If you don't have a string, you can't put the pearls around your neck.
That creates the magic, and that's the wonderment of the musical process and how precious that is.
It's really interesting how music can knock down a wall and be an open connection between you and someone else where something else can't. When music comes along, it just opens your heart a little more.
The prospect of music being detachable from time and place meant that one could start to think of music as a part of one's furniture.
My proposition is that music is at the heart of what 'The Magic Flute' means: that it's Mozart's music, not the words, we should be attending to. Music expresses what can't be expressed otherwise.
Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.
Music is about textures as well as melody.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
