Darius Milhaud
1892 - 1974
Darius Milhaud was a French composer, conductor, and teacher. He was a member of Les Six.
📖 "The most difficult thing in music is still to write a melody of several bars which can be self-sufficient. That is the secret of music. While the technique should be as perfected as possible, that is a lesser essential Anybody can acquire a brilliant technique Melody alone permits a work to survive."
📖 "It is curious how people go on believing that the musician knows less about what he is doing than those that judge him."
📖 "I had a marvelously happy childhood."
