Music Quotes:
Copland is the Puccini of music. - Stravinsky (when asked his opinion about Aaron Copland) Submitted by: Adam Stern
| The past slips from our grasp. It leaves us only scattered things. The bond that united them eludes us. Our imagination usually fills in the void by making use of preconceived theories...Archaeology, then, does not supply us with certitudes, but rather with vague hypotheses. And in the shade of these hypotheses some artists are content to dream, considering them less as scientific facts than as sources of inspiration. - Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971) |

Crime Records:
"Changing "The Star-Spangled Banner""
In 1940, Stravinsky rearranged America's National Anthem by adding a 7th note at the end of the song which caused a riot! If only he did that 30 years later.
