Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or detail:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“all to no end save beauty
the eternal—
So in detail they, the crowd,
are beautiful”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
