Passing/music

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or music:

“Young poets bewail the passing of love; old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)
