music quotes 2

Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.

Benjamin Disraeli

Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums, like paintings and statues.  The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg:  I have it in my pocket.

Henri Rabaud
 

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.

Henry David Thoreau

Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
 Oliver Wendell Holmes
