Famous quotes containing the words composer, musical and/or style:
“Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lennys life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldnt let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.”
—John Mauceri (b. 1945)
“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, cant get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
—Anzia Yezierska (c. 18811970)
