These are some nice quotes I read the other day.
"There are times in the theater when poets and composers must have the talent to write neither poetry nor music"
- Verdi (Dyneley Hussey; The Master Musicians, Verdi; 176)
"... one keeps on returning, from time to time, to an identical piece of material in order to map out new possibilities inherent in it. As to the point at which that wanders off into self-repetition..."
-György Kurtág (Bálint András Varga; Three questions for sixty-five composers; 145)
"He [Robert Rauschenberg] said that he does not want either life or art. He wants something in between. [...] And Cage would see this beautiful white thing in the shadows of the environment [...] and he saw where art and the outside environment could collage. Not interfere with each other. [...] For me, the problem of music is that it has too much to do with music. And it becomes a lecture."
-Morton Feldman (Bálint András Varga; Three questions for sixty-five composers; 80-81)
And here is some nice music by Paul Lansky:
