Classical Quote
“Listening to the 5th Symphony of Ralph Vaughan Williams is like staring at a cow for 45 minutes.”
- Aaron Copland |

Then again, Copland caught a barb himself from Walter Damrosch, who, after conducting the premiere of the then-young composer's Symphony for Organ and Orchestra (later re-orchestrated as Symphony No. 1), said:
"If a gifted young man can write a symphony like that at age twenty-three, within five years he will be ready to commit murder." |

Georg Frideric Handel: “I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wish to make them better.”

Leonard Bernstein: “To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.”

That's a very wise one... :thumbsup: |
Bernstein was a pretty sharp guy.
He also said: The most difficult instrument to play in the orchestra is second fiddle. |
Lots of excellent quotes, some of my favorites:
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” – Confucius “Without music, life would be a mistake.” – Friedrich Nietzsche “Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” – Sergei Rachmaninoff |
Music is a higher revelation than philosophy - Beethoven
