Music Quotes
-
You can learn to write. But what you write is something that depends on your taste and on your vision or whatever. Also, of course, the music I listened to inspired my idea of music. When people ask me "Where's your inspiration? Where does it come from?" I have no idea. Music is about music. Not about life and love.
Nils Frahm
-
Music, or the type of music that I'm writing, is very personal.
SZA

Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you're sincere and honest with what you're doing, and by talking to them.
Chuck Mangione

Cecil Taylor

You know when I started playing music as a young man I felt the need to be noticed and to prove myself. My motivation is much different now but what's still left is the love of music and the joy of entertaining people- the feeling that I make a difference, giving something back rather than just taking. Every year or two I come out with new music, or new arrangements of old music which keeps my show fresh.
Peter White

Jason Aldean
-
I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.
Robert James Ritchi
-
To me, part of the beauty of a comma is that it offers a rest, like one in music: a break that gives the whole piece of music greater shape, deeper harmony. It allows us to catch our breath.
Pico Iyer
-
The kind of music I'm dealing with is more a long-term music. Sometimes a little discourage runs along on your thought, but I am here to push it back. Discourage is a sign of weakness, and I don't like to be weak.
Burning Spear
-
Concrete concepts are not necessarily the simplest ones. A novice best remembers 'being at' a concert. The amateur remembers more of what it 'sounded like.' Only the professional remembers the music itself, timbres, tones and textures.
Marvin Minsky
