My God, How Can Anyone

People Who Make Music Together Cannot Be Enemies, At Least While The Music Lasts.

Music Is Meaningless Noise Unless It Touches A Receiving Mind.

Our Spirit Of Life Is Not Identical With That Of Our Ancestors, And Therefore Their Music, Even If Restored With Utter Technical Perfections, Can Never Have To Us Precisely The Same Meaning It Had For Them. We Cannot Tear Down The Barricade That Separates The Present World From Things And Deeds Past.

Tonality Is A Natural Force, Like Gravity.

Your Task It Is, Amid Confusion, Rush, And Noise, To Grasp The Lasting, Calm And Meaningful, And Finding It Anew, To Hold And Treasure It.
