“Wanting to be understood by an audience that didn't know Russian, I tried to paint musical pictures by emphasizing the phrasing, using voice color more boldly, and varying the shade and nuance.” KnowsVoiceAudienceColorUnderstoodPaintMusicalShadeNuance Author:Galina Vishnevskaya

“As might be expected of creatures so heavenly in color, the disposition of bluebirds is particularly angelic. Gentleness and amiability are expressed in their soft musical voice. Tru-al-ly, tru-al-ly, they sweetly assert when we can scarcely believe that spring is here; tru-wee, tur-wee they softly call in autumn when they go roaming through the countryside in flocks of azure.” BelieveMightVoiceColorCreaturesSpringMusicalExpectedHeavenlyAutumnAlsDispositionGentlenessFlocksCountrysideAngelicRoamingAzureBluebirdSpring Is Here Author:Neltje Blanchan
“There is a kinship between music and painting - with the same words used to describe both, as when a musical composition is said to have color and a painting to have rhythm.” SaidUsedColorPaintingMusicalRhythmCompositionKinshipMusical Composition Author:Alton Tobey
“My view is that musicals are love stories with great final scenes. It's just that simple. Musicals are also conflicts between two worlds. And by those criteria, 'The Color Purple' is actually exactly the kind of story that makes for a great musical. Yes, it's got hard stuff in it, but so does 'Les Miserables' and 'Phantom of the Opera.'” WorldKindDoeTwoHardStoriesStuffSimpleViewsColorSceneConflictFinalsMusicalLove StoryOperaPurpleCriteriaPhantomsGreat MusicTwo Worlds Author:Marsha Norman
“There are only five notes in the musical scale, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be heard. There are only five basic colors, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be seen. There are only five basic flavors, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be tasted. There are only two kinds of charge in battle, the unorthodox surprise attack and the orthodox direct attack, but variations of the unorthodox and the orthodox are endless. The unorthodox and the orthodox give rise to each other, like a beginningless circle-who could exhaust them?” GivingKindTwoFiveHeardColorBattleDirectNotesSurpriseMusicalCirclesScalesEndlessOrthodoxFlavorVariationUnorthodoxSurprise Attacks Book:The Art of War Source: The Art of War

“Well I started out on guitar, so it is still the mainstay of my music. But I have recently been working very hard on my piano, and it is coming along to the point where it is taking more of the spotlight. It has been my plan to be able to make music well into my old age, and sitting down seems like a good idea. Also, I don't have to carry the piano on the road. I haven't been playing the banjo much of late because of the difficulties of travelling with so much gear. But maybe I'll bring it to Japan. It adds a different color to the musical palette.” WellsHas BeensStillsIdeasDifferentHardSeemsAgeAblePlansHavensColorLateSittingDifficultyAddGuitarMusicalOld AgePianoJapanGood IdeasGearsSpotlightSitting DownPaletteBanjosDifferent ColorsWorking Very Hard Author:Livingston Taylor
