Diatonic Melody String

Famous quotes containing the words melody and/or string:

“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)

“The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.”
—Jeffrey Tate (b. 1943)
