Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “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)

    “It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
