Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Without music, life would be a mistake. Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once. When words leave off, music begins. There's nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it. The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees. One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. Music's not like becoming a doctor, who can walk into a community and find people who need him. Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder. Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together. Music is the shorthand of emotion. Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. Music is the best means we have of digesting time. Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die. Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
Music happens to be an art form that transcends language. Music can change the world because it can change people. I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Has music add any value to your life?
