Three Young Surrealistic Women Holding in Their Arms the Skins of
an Orchestra, 1936
Salvador Dalí
"[When] I'm writing for words, then I immerse myself in those
words, and I let the music flow out of them. When I write an abstract
piano sonata or a concerto, I write what I feel, I'm not a self-conscious
composer...it is said that I have no style at all but that doesn't
matter. I just go on doing, as they say, my thing. I believe this takes a
certain courage." --Samuel Barber
"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its
pupils." -- Hector Berlioz
"The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a
medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that.
Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can
easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the
bassoon." -- Frank Zappa
