Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or composer:
“Pray you bid
These unknown friends to’s welcome, for it is
A way to make us better friends, more known.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
