I am convinced that 100 years from now, people will talk about Elliott Carter as one of the most important figures in the second half of 20th-century music.

For me personally, Elliott Ca...

For me personally, Elliott Carter was and remains one of the most meaningful composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries because he represents substance. He was the living proof of uncompromising, complex music, which at first seems inaccessible. But it becomes accessible if one digs in and sees the development through.

When we talk about music, we ...

When we talk about music, we talk about our reaction to it. One person might say that music is so poetic, while another says it's all mathematics. Yet another might say it's about sensuality, and so on. That's all true. But music is not just one of these things. It's everything all at once.

You have to really have the will to hang onto the first note as it is being played, and then really stay with it and take the flight, as it were, you know, for the duration of the piece.

Music is an art that touches the depth of human existence; an art of sounds that crosses all borders.

When you love somebody and they die young and you are young, too, it is very hard.

I liked very much when we lived in Hampstead. We would go for walks on the Heath. I liked it better than living in the centre of town.

On Nov. 5, 2012, my friend Elliott Carter died in New York at the age of 103. For me, he was and remains one of the most interesting figures of music history in the past century.

Any conductor who tells you that if he is approached for the directorship of the Chicago Symphony that he's not interested in it, you know perfectly well he's lying.

Music is very abstract. When we talk about music, we're not discussing the music itself but rather how we react to it.

Anti-Semitism has no historical, political and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease.

The historical importance of a composer does not always go hand in hand with the quality of their work.

Beethoven's music tends to move from chaos to order, as if order were an imperative of human existence.

The problem with listening to music today is that there's so much of it everywhere. We've got used to hearing music without actually listening to it.

I get no satisfaction just showing myself in every corner of the world every week.

There are many types of silence. There is a silence before the note, there is a silence at the end and there is a silence in the middle.

There are many wonderful orchestras in the world, but very few who have a character or personality of their own. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of them, and I think it very important to recognize and respect that character.

Controversial means somebody who makes people think. And if you are afraid of people who will be against you, you might as well stay home and do nothing.
