Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums like painings and statues. The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg: I have it in my pocket.

Henry Rabaud

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.

Paul Simon

No; Paul----I'm hoping that when we die, it's only the beginning of a musical journey, that we can hear music as we've never heard it before.

I keep seeing my one DGD 'go to another place' when she plays piano in a concert and sometimes, also at home----I know she's tapped into something somewhere other than here.
I hope we can all experience it at some point.

When she was about 1 1/2 or 2 years old, she sang a song which had no recognizable English words in it, yet she sang it for two days, over and over; the melody was ethereal.
We were amazed---I begged her Mom to tape it.
The third day, it went away and we never heard it again, although I'm sure it's still with her every time she plays.....

Anne; sorry to go on the way I have the past couple days; you've just really tapped into my inner core with these quotes of yours!

Nothing to be sorry about, that's what it is supposed to do, connect with somebody!

Rene J. Dubos has it right that we think we can do better than natural. There are many good things that have been discovered for our benefit but at what cost to our environment?

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more... Lord Byron

I agree with Paul, that "music is forever". But to me it means "forever". I think that once a note it played, it's in the universe forever.
