Mozart to Salieri in Amadeus:    "That doesn't really work, does it?"

Also (if I remember correctly) from Amadeus:    "So many notes! So little music!"

Or from Pete Seeger:    "You don't have to play a lot of notes. Just be sure the notes you do play are important."

I look on this sort of thing as a parlor trick. I can't really see it being incorporated into real music, folk or otherwise.
