Jazz musician ‪Miles Davis‬ once said, "When you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that makes it good or bad."

“Composition is selective improvisation.”
- Igor Stravinsky

And the counter to that, one of my favorite music quotes (although not classical”:

“the difference between composition and improvisation is that in composition you have all the time you want to decide what to say in fifteen seconds, while in improvisation you have fifteen seconds.” -Steve Lacy

Freddie Mercury (not a classical composer, but still) quote about parody and covers:
"You can do what you want with my music, but don't make me boring."
