“Our peasant music, naturally, is invariably tonal, if not always in the sense that the inflexible major and minor system is tonal. (An "atonal" folk-music, in my opinion, is unthinkable.) Since we depend upon a tonal basis of this kind in our creative work, it is quite self-evident that our works are quite pronouncedly tonal in type. I must admit, however, that there was a time when I thought I was approaching a species of twelve-tone music. Yet even in works of that period the absolute tonal foundation is unmistakable.” IfsKindSelfOpinionCreativeTypeDependsPeriodsMajorsBasesAbsolutesFoundationSpeciesFolksToneWorking ItTwelveMinorsEvidentPeasantsUnthinkableCreative WorkFolk Music Author:Bela Bartok
“In the early days the Cubism' method of grasping an object was to go round and round it. The Futurists declared that one had to get inside it. In my opinion the two views can be reconciled in a poetic cognition of the world. But to the very fact that they appealed to the creative depths in the painter by awakening in him hidden forces which were intuitive and vitalizing, the Futurist theories did more than the Cubist principles to open up unexplored and boundless horizons.” WorldTwoFactsForceViewsOpinionPrinciplesCreativeObjectsTheoryMethodDepthRoundsAwakeningPainterPoeticHorizonIntuitiveBoundlessCognitionGraspingUnexploredFuturist Author:Gino Severini
“Opinion in all parts of the world would agree that Rachmaninoff is the most complete of living masters of the instrument; his technique is comprehensive, and he is, of course, musical to his bone's marrow. Most important of all, he is a composer, and for this reason he is able to approach a work as none of his pianist contemporaries can approach one - that is, from the inside, as an organic and felt creative process.” WorldImportantReasonAbleCoursesFeltProcessOpinionCreativeMastersApproachAgreeInstrumentsMusicalBonesTechniqueComposerCreative ProcessComprehensivePianistMarrowRachmaninoff Author:Sergei Rachmaninoff
