Just thought I'd throw these out as a diversion, they
are [currently] my most favourite music-related quotations:


  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.
           -Stravinsky
  
  
  The introduction of a new kind of music must
  be shunned as imperiling the whole state, since
  styles of music are never disturbed without
  affecting the most important political institutions.
       -Plato
  
  
  I cried all the way to the bank.
               - Liberace responding to critics

How about this one, which Bach was alleged to have replied
to someone who admired his organ playing:

	"I don't see why you think it's so difficult:
	 you merely hit the right buttons and the thing plays itself."
