Quote of the Day

 The instrumental impulse is not melody
in a 'melodious' sense, but an agile movement of the hands which
seems to be under the control of a brain center totally
different from that which inspires vocal melody. Altogether,
instrumental music, with the exception of rudimentary rhythmic
percussion, is as a rule a florid, fast, and brillant display of
virtuosity.
-Curt Sachs-
