Classical World

Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or world:

    The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.
    André Previn (b. 1929)

    Thou all sweetness dost enclose
    Like a little world of bliss.
    Beauty guards thy looks: the rose
    In them pure and eternal is.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
