Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “Where should this music be? I’ th’ air, or th’ earth?
    It sounds no more.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
