More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Nothing is likely about masterpieces, least of all whether there will be any.
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
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
Music is...the coordination between man and time.
Igor Stravinsky
Music must be listened to it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also.
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
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
Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.
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
Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it.
Igor Stravinsky
To continue in one path is to go backward.
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
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
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
There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.
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
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
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
Igor Stravinsky
