More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust.
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
Revolution means turning the wheel.
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
Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?
Igor Stravinsky
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
Igor Stravinsky
The true creator may be recognized by his ability always to find about him, in the commonest and humblest thing, items worthy of note.
Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
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
Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself.
Igor Stravinsky
I am an inventor of music.
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
Nothing is likely about masterpieces, least of all whether there will be any.
Igor Stravinsky
To continue in one path is to go backward.
Igor Stravinsky
Composition is frozen improvisation.
Igor Stravinsky
Conformism is so hot on the heels of the mass-produced avant-garde that the 'ins' and the 'outs' change places with the speed of mach 3.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
Igor Stravinsky
I cannot now evaluate the events that, at the end of those thirty years, made me discover the necessity of religious belief. I was not reasoned into my disposition. Though I admire the structured thought of theology, it is to religion no more than counterpoint exercises are to music.
Igor Stravinsky
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
Old age is a time of humiliations, the most disagreeable of which, for me, is that I cannot work long at sustained high pressure with no leaks in concentration.
Igor Stravinsky
