More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.
Igor Stravinsky
An audience is an abstraction it has no taste. It must depend on the only person who has (pardon, should have), the conductor.
Igor Stravinsky
Vivaldi didn't write 400 concertos he wrote one concerto 400 times.
Igor Stravinsky
I never understood the need for a live audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.
Igor Stravinsky
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
To continue in one path is to go backward.
Igor Stravinsky
My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit.
Igor Stravinsky
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky
The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending.
Igor Stravinsky
I wonder if memory is true, and I know that it cannot be, but that one lives by memory nevertheless and not by truth.
Igor Stravinsky
My childhood was a period of waiting for the moment when I could send everyone and everything connected with it to hell.
Igor Stravinsky
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky
It's one of nature's way that we often feel closer to distant generations than to the generation immediately preceding us.
Igor Stravinsky
Music must be listened to it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky
Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it.
Igor Stravinsky
It is my conviction that the public always shows itself more honest in its spontaneity than do those who officially set themselves up as judges of works of art.
Igor Stravinsky
To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to Hell.
Igor Stravinsky
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
Igor Stravinsky
