Imogen Robertson Quotes
...music Does Not Mean Anything At All. You Cannot Ask It To Speak To You In Such Concrete Terms. It Can Evoke, Affect, Cajole And Persuade, But It's Language Is Not That Of Speech. Indeed, If A Composer Can Say In Literal Terms What His Music Means, He Had Much Better Write Prose Than Notes... Let Music, When You Hear It, Work On You In Its Own Way...let It Flow Around You And Find Its Own Way To Touch You. It Is Not Something You Must Translate Moment By Moment. Give It Your Attention. If It Fails To Speak To You In Its Own Manner Then, Well, It Is A Failure Of The Music, Not In Yourself.
