Melody is the essence of music.
The best way to learn is through the powerful force of rhythm.
Now there is music from which a man can learn something.
I love it when an aria fits a singer as perfectly as a suit of well-tailored clothes.
True perfection in all things is no longer known or prized - you must write music that is either so simple a coachman could sing it, or so unintelligble that audiences like it simply because no sane person could understand it.
If only the whole world could feel the power of harmony.
