Bach Quotes

Of course I have used dissonance in my time, but there has been too much dissonance. Bach used dissonance as good salt for his music. Others applied pepper, seasoned the dishes more and more highly, till all healthy appetites were sick and until the music was nothing but pepper Picture Quote #1

Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind Picture Quote #1

When I was five, I am told, and asked what my favorite things in the world were, I answered, smoked salmon and Bach Picture Quote #1

Bach felt the beauty and sadness of the moment.

I listen to lots of music, especially Bach, opera (all periods), German lieder, chamber music, and rock, old and new. I can’t listen to music while I write. It’s too absorbing Picture Quote #1
