Even Bach comes down to the basic suck, blow, suck, suck, blow.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests. - David Cronenberg
Did Bach ever eatpancakes at midnight? - Nathan Reese Maher
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird-- that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple complicated is commonplace--making the complicated simple, awesomely simple--that's creativity. - Charles Mingus
If there is anyone who owes everything to Bach, it is certainly God. - Emil Cioran
Beethoven tells you what it's like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it's like to be human. Bach tells you what it's like to be the universe. - Douglas Adams
Bach is an astronomer, discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the soul and the heart of man. - Frédéric Chopin
Walking women want to see the southern cross at night And so they set aside a sock, and tie their laces tight Yes mournful is the melody that echoes in their heads Without a beat they march along, believing Bach is dead.
The vitality of art is its capacity for infinite expansion. One form doesn't preclude another any more than the existence of Mozart makes the existence of Bach superfluous. - Lloyd Alexander
Çelişkili duyarlıklara aynı anda yer veren insanın iç dünyası çok başkaydı. Bir Bach sonatıyla bir Beethoven senfonisinin yanyana çalınması onun yanında bir şey ifade etmiyordu. - Oğuz Atay
What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful. And brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. And the Beatles. And me. - Erich Segal
