Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:

    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)

    One man’s style must not be the rule of another’s.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
