Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
Igor Stravinsky
A good composer does not imitate he steals.
Igor Stravinsky
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
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
