More recently, such early generative approaches to music were further developed and extended by several scholars.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Thy remembrance, and repentance, and deep musings are not free
    From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
    Van Morrison (b. 1945)
