More quotes by Igor Stravinsky

Image
All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Music is...the coordination between man and time.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
I take no pride in my artistic talents they are God-given and I see absolutely no reason to become puffed up over something that one has received.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
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
Image
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
I wonder if memory is true, and I know that it cannot be, but that one lives by memory nevertheless and not by truth.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Look for the music on all things, and life will be a symphony of joy. My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
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
Image
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
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
Image
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
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
Image
I am an inventor of music.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Vivaldi didn't write 400 concertos he wrote one concerto 400 times.
Igor Stravinsky
Image
Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?
