Programme Music

Famous quotes containing the words programme and/or music:

    “The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
