More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
What gives the artist real prestige is his imitators.
Igor Stravinsky
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky
The further one separates himself from the precepts of the Christian Church, the further one distances himself from the truth. Only God can create. I make music from music.
Igor Stravinsky
Doomed to total failure in a deaf world of ignorance and indifference, he inexorably kept on cutting out his diamonds, his dazzling diamonds, of whose mines he had a perfect knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky
The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.
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
Composers combine notes, that's all.
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
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
Vivaldi didn't write 400 concertos he wrote one concerto 400 times.
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
The one true comment on a piece of music is another piece of music.
Igor Stravinsky
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
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
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is given to us specifically to make order of things, to move from an anarchic, individualistic state to a regulated, perfectly concious one, which alone insures vitality and durability.
Igor Stravinsky
We can neither put back the clock nor slow down our forward speed, and as we are already flying pilotless, on instrument controls, it is even too late to ask where we are going.
Igor Stravinsky
