Funny quotes from Igor Stravinsky, Russian Composer
Igor Stravinsky, Russian composer, pianist and conductor. Here are some quote from him.
"The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead."
"I never understood the need for a 'live' audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one."
"My music is best understood by children and animals."
"A good composer does not imitate; he steals."
"Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor; we do not remember him in it. "
"Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end."
