Musical Material

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or material:

“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Style [is] the hallmark of a temperament stamped on the material in hand.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
