Music: love it? hate it? what would you like to say, or are pleased that someone said, about music?

This is more general than previous quotation and songs threads. I hope that people will talk to us about themselves and music.

“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.” – Johann Sebastian Bach

“The piano ain’t got no wrong notes.” – Thelonious Monk

“Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky

There are many other musical ideas, some unique to you and others in the realm of the quotable. smiling smiley

Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left." ― Itzhak Perlman

"It's not the music is too imprecise for words, but too precise." – Felix Mendelssohn

"Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous." – Yehudi Menuchin

...stories about [the German composer Johannes] Brahms's rudeness and wit amused me in particular. For instance, I loved the one about how a great wine connoisseur invited the composer to dinner. 'This is the Brahms of my cellar,' he said to his guests, producing a dust-covered bottle and pouring some into the master's glass. Brahms looked first at the color of the wine, then sniffed its bouquet, finally took a sip, and put the glass down without saying a word. 'Don't you like it?' asked the host. 'Hmm,' Brahms muttered. 'Better bring your Beethoven!' - Arthur Rubinstein

You cannot play the piano well unless you are singing within you. - Arthur Rubinistein

Straightaway the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God. - Johannes Brahms

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. - Lao-Tzu
Right now, I am hating music.

Every morning, I ask Alexa to play French music. I have been doing this for four years. Every morning, I am met with a beautiful playlist.

A month ago, Alexa met my request with "Here's a playlist you might like: Rediscovering Johnny Halliday."

Not only do I dislike this artist more than Vanilla Ice, it's invasive.

"I told myself to quit you; but I don't listen to drunks." -Chris Stapleton
