Famous quotes containing the word composer:
“A nation creates music—the composer only arranges it.”
—Mikhail Glinka (1804–1857)
“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
