More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
I knew I had to write a Mass of my own, but a real one.
Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
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 never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself.
Igor Stravinsky
Vivaldi didn't write 400 concertos he wrote one concerto 400 times.
Igor Stravinsky
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
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 continue in one path is to go backward.
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
It's one of nature's way that we often feel closer to distant generations than to the generation immediately preceding us.
Igor Stravinsky
Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.
Igor Stravinsky
Composition is frozen improvisation.
Igor Stravinsky
What gives the artist real prestige is his imitators.
Igor Stravinsky
One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street any more without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
Igor Stravinsky
Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.
Igor Stravinsky
Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?
Igor Stravinsky
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
