There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.
Igor StravinskyThe more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.
Igor StravinskyAll music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.
Igor StravinskyIt is the transcendent (or 'abstract' or 'self-contained') nature of music that the new so called concretism--Pop Art, eighteen-hour slices-of-reality films, musique concrete--opposes. But instead of bringing art and reality closer together, the new movement merely thins out the distinction.
