Music Quotes"Music raises in the mind of the hearer great conceptions: it strengthens and advances praise into rapture." ~Joseph Addison "After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." ~Aldous Huxley "Music was a thing of the soul - a rose-lipped shell hat murmured of the eternal sea - a strange bird singing the songs of another shore." ~ J.C. Holland "We love music for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch." ~ Letitia Elizabeth Landon "Music is the heartbeat of the universe. It reaches into the outer ramparts of eternity where time and space are nonexistent; it touches the stars and is reflected in the beauty of the galaxy. it is exemplified in the mathematical precision found in the largest star and the tiniest molecule. Music is emotional. It touches the heart and creates a response with the listener without his being aware of the technique." ~John Rossel "Great music is a flame that lights the tapers of man's noblest thoughts and drives shadows from the corridors of his soul." ~Douglas Meador "There's music in the sighing of a reed; "There's music in the gushing of a rill; "There's music in all things, if men had ears; "Their earth is but an echo of the spheres." ~Lord Byron Study Bach! There you’ll find everything. - Johannes Brahms Bach is the beginning and the end of all music - Max Reger Although I don’t believe in God, Bach’s music shows me what a love of God must feel like. - Alain de Botton Bach opens a vista onto the Universe. After hearing him, people feel there may be meaning to life after all. - Helmut Walcha Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpointists to hack post-horses; therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: 'Chi sa più, meno sa— Who knows most, knows least. ~ Mozart The most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time. ~ Mozart from Mozart: The Man and the Artist, as Revealed in his own Words by Friedrich Kerst, trans. Henry Edward Krehbiel (1906)
