Dr. Dmitri Tymoczko - The geometry of music

 

"It is not a profession to be a pianist and musician. It is a philosophy, a conception of life that cannot be based on good intentions or natural talent. First and foremost there must be a spirit of sacrifice."

 

~ Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli   

 

"I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach into outer space on the Voyager spacecraft. But that would be boasting."

 

~  Lewis Thomas

 

The man that hath no music in himself

Nor is not move'd with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons , strategems, and spoils;

The motions of his spirit are dull as night,

And his affections dark as Erebus:

Let no such man be trusted.

 

~  William Shakespeare

 

Without music, life would be a mistake.

 

~ Friedrich Nietzsche
