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)

    When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
