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)

    “Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1993)
