📖 "Why speak of time travel? We have a tried and oroven method with us. Music moves us across centuries and continents without ever leaving our chairs. Today I have stood in the huge quietness of Solemnes, circled the glittering ballrooms of Vienna, walked in Pepys' Whitehall, careered about the room in the exuberance of a Victorian polka."
📖 "Every music student should be familiar with the intensely necessary and extremely valuable subject of musical history. How else can he become familiar with the personal individualities of the great composers? The more I know of Chopin, Beethoven, Scarlatti or Mendelssohn as men, and the more I know of the times in which they lived, the closer I feel to the manner in which they would have wished their compositions interpreted. Consider how markedly different are the individualities of Wagner and Haydn, and how different the interpretations of the works of these masters should be."James Francis Cooke's Great Pianists on Piano Playing
📖 "The greatest moments of the human spirit may be deduced from the greatest moments in music."Music as an Aspect of the Human Spirit , radio broadcast (1954)
Books On Music History 📖 "The history of music is the history of centuries - of millenniums even - with their store of patiently acquired experience. Is it any the less captivating on that account? Surely not. Every quaver in our scores, every mechanical gesture of a pianist, every emotional reaction on the part of a listener towards his favourite piece, is the final result of hundreds of successive conquests, not for the most part forgotten, but to each of which a story is attached."40,000 Years of Music.
