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)

“Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.”
