the colour of my soul is iron-grey and sad bats wheel about the steeple of my dreams.

People don't very much like things that are beautiful.. they are so far from their nasty little minds.

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

On those who overanalyze his music: When you tear the wings off a butterfly, it is no longer a butterfly

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

Collect impressions. Don't be ...

Collect impressions. Don't be in a hurry to write them down. Because that's something music can do better than painting: it can centralise variations of colour and light within a single picture a truth generally ignored, obvious as it is.

The worship of Adonis is united with that of Christ .

Is it not our duty to find the symphonic formula which fits our time, one which progress, daring and modern victory demand? The century of airplanes has a right to its own music.

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

The music I desire must be supple enough to adapt itself to the lyrical effusions of the soul and the fantasy of dreams.

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

What I am trying to do is something different an effect of reality, but what some fools call Impressionism , a term that is usually misapplied, especially by the critics who don't hesitate to apply it to Turner , the greatest creator of mysterious effects in the whole world of art.

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

It is necessary to abandon yourself completely, and let the music do as it will with you. All people come to music to seek oblivion.

To complete a work is just like being present at the death of someone you love.

When Claude Debussy studied at...

When Claude Debussy studied at the Paris Conservatory from age ten to age twenty-two, many considered him a rebel because of his treatment of dissonance and his disdain for the established forms. He reputedly turned to a fellow student during a performance of Beethoven with the words, 'Let's go. He's starting to develop.

When asked by a grumpily puzzled professor what 'rules' he followed, Debussy is said to have retorted, mon plaisir 'whatever I please' and he further claimed that more was to be gained by watching the sun rise than by listening to the Pastoral Symphony. Although such remarks were intended to shock, they contain a core of Debussyan verity...

Peter Townsend Music is the silence between the notes.. So could it be said that dance is the stillness between the steps?

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

The sound of the sea, the curve of a horizon, wind in leaves, the cry of a bird leave manifold impression in us. And suddenly, without our wishing it at all, one of these memories spills from us and finds expression in musical language...I want to sing my interior landscape with the simple artlessness of a child.

Claude Debussy 75 quotes

If we look at the works of JS ...

If we look at the works of JS Bach ... on each page we discover things which we thought were born only yesterday, from delightful arabesques to an overflowing of religious feeling greater than anything we have since discovered.

The attraction of the virtuoso for the public is very like that of the circus for the crowd. There is always the hope that something dangerous will happen.
