| I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it. I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the varieties of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust. Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead. |
