Musical Material

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or material:

“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Thought dissolves the material universe by carrying the mind up into a sphere where all is plastic.”
