30 Dec 05 - 09:31 AM (#1637335) Subject: Quotes by musicians about music From: GUEST,Wesley S Here's a rather extensive collection of quotes - it was sent to me by a friend of mine who actually makes a living playing music. I'm not sure where he found it - but there are some interesting ideas here. "One of the perks of being an unemployed musician is that you get to play much less bad music." Jack Daney "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Aldous Huxley "Music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all. Music expresses itself." Igor Stravinsky "Hell is full of musical amateurs." George Bernard Shaw "The drummer drives. Everybody else rides!" Panama Francis "Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins." Dizzy Gillespie on playing the trumpet "Music is my mistress, and she plays second fiddle to no one." Duke Ellington "Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time." Ornette Coleman "We never play anything the same way once." Shelly Manne's definition of jazz musicians "Someone who knows how to play the accordion, and doesn't." Al Cohn's definition of a gentleman "Music is a very hard instrument." Vido Musso "The only tune they play in 4/4 is 'Take Five!'" unknown-talking about the Don Ellis band "If I could play like Wynton (Marsalis), I wouldn't play like Wynton. Chet Baker "I'm too old to pimp, and too young to die, so I'm just gon' keep playin'. Clark Terry "A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student and whose goal is not dictate the answers, but to stimulate his students creativity enough so that they go out and find the answers themselves." Herbie Hancock "To be a musician is a curse. To NOT be one is even worse. Jack Daney "Don't bother to look, I've composed all this already." Gustav Mahler, to Bruno Walter who had stopped to admire mountain scenery in rural Austria. "I would rather play Chiquita Banana and have my swimming pool than play Bach and starve." Xavier Cugat "[Musicians] talk of nothing but money and jobs. Give me businessmen every time. They really are interested in music and art." Jean! Sibelius, explaining why he rarely invited musicians to his home. "Only become a musician if there is absolutely no other way you can make a living." Kirke Mecham, on his life as a composer "I am not handsome, but when women hear me play, they come crawling to my feet." Niccoló Paganini "What is the voice of song, when the world lacks the ear of taste?" Nathaniel Hawthorne "Flint must be an extremely wealthy town: I see that each of you bought two or three seats." Victor Borge, playing to a half-filled house in Flint, Michigan. "If one hears bad music it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation." Oscar Wilde "Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together." Mel Brooks "Life can't be all bad when for ten dollars you can buy all the Beethoven sonatas and listen to them for ten years." William F. Buckley, Jr. "You can't possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven's Seventh and go slow." Oscar Levant, explaining his way out of a speeding ticket. "Wagner's music is better than it sounds." Mark Twain "Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently." James Gibbons Hunekar "If a young man at the age of twenty-three can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder." Walter Damrosch on Aaron Copland "There are still so many beautiful things to be said in C major." Sergei Prokofiev "I never use a score when conducting my orchestra. Does a lion tamer enter a cage with a book on how to tame a lion?" Dimitri Mitropolous "God tells me how the music should sound, but you stand in the way." Arturo Toscanini to a trumpet player "Already too loud!" Bruno Walter at his first rehearsal with an American orchestra, on seeing the players reaching for their instruments. "I really don't know whether any place contains more pianists than Paris, or whether you can find more asses and virtuosos anywhere." Frederic Chopin "When she started to play, Steinway himse! lf came down personally and rubbed his name off the piano." Bob Hope, on comedienne Phyllis Diller "Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them." Richard Strauss "In opera, there is always too much singing." Claude Debussy "Oh how wonderful, really wonderful opera would be if there were no singers!" Giacchino Rossini "I think popular music in this country is one of the few things in the twentieth century that has made giant strides in reverse." Bing Crosby "A ponderous orchestral absurdity." Frank Zappa on his rock symphony debuted by the Los Angeles Philharmonic "The bottom line of any country is, what did we contribute to the world? We (the U.S.) contributed Louis Armstrong." Tony Bennett "If you make a mistake, play it twice, the audience will think it's part of the song!" Quincy Jones |

In few other areas of human activity do people reject the best and prefer the worst. Not many people would prefer to watch sporting events featuring the most poorly trained and least accomplished athletes, or buy clothes designed and crafted by amateurs in a folksy, homespun style; prefer that a complicated surgical procedure be performed by a self-taught physician, or trust their financial futures in a civil suit to a untrained "garage" attorney. Strangely, when it comes to music, it seems for some otherwise intelligent, educated adults, the cruder the better. Go figure." Mickie Willis, composer and jazz pianist, Louisiana |

The air in the performance is sculpted into something. ~ Frank Zappa One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds. ~ Frank Zappa There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. ~ Frank Zappa |

04 Jan 06 - 07:29 PM (#1641408) Subject: RE: Quotes by musicians about music From: Peace Through ornamentation a singer gives dramatic structure to a song, and this requires an understanding of the 'story': Different lines in a song are different, sung differently to other lines in a song, some verses tells you of the tragedy and other verses tells, why did it happen and they vary, like that the same way you sing any version of a song. There's an old saying that you start a song slowly, you build up a climax and come down gently. And in folk music, there is no beat, it's just a pulse (Heaney 78-15.1). From here. |
