“People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven quartet.”
—Witold Lutoslawski (b. 1913)
“I do like a little romance ... just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys.... Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven’t got that.”
