Not sure if I'm repeating myself, but I felt like posting something, so here it is: A couple of great remarks that are all somewhat music related


Music: a complex organization of sounds that is set down by the composer,
incorrectly interpreted by the conductor, who is ignored by the musicians,
followed by the audience.

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them. - R. Strauss on
conducting

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys
at the right time and the instrument plays itself. - J. S. Bach

Anything too stupid to be said ... is sung.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. - Thelonius Monk

Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny. - Frank Zappa

We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. -- Decca
Recording Company, on rejecting the Beatles in 1962

Classical music is the kind that you keep thinking will turn into a tune.

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap Music.

New music is old music played twice as fast and half as well - James Douglass Morrison

There must be a lot more!!!!!

Cheers! Hans

I saw this one in a high school music room:

"Artists paint their thoughts on canvas, musicians paint theirs on silence"

or something close to that :D
