Orchestra Quotes - Page 14

• Para mí no es casualidad que todas las orquestas sinfónicas del mundo afinen con la nota La. Y La tiene 440 ciclos, excepto en Alemania, donde tiene 444. Pero el universo tiene 450 ciclos. Pero el universo tiene 450 ciclos. Así que lo que intento decir es que creo que es la voz de Dios, la melodía especialmente. Contrapunto, inversión retrógrada, armonía... esa es la ciencia y el oficio.

  Quincy Jones

• I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation. Someone once wrote that the sound of surprise is jazz, and if there's any one thing that we must try to get used to in this world, it's surprise and the unexpected. Truly, we are living in world where the only thing that's constant is change.

• A man of forty today has nothing to worry him but falling hair, inability to button the top button, failing vision, shortness of breath, a tendency of the collar to shut off all breathing, trembling of the kidneys to whatever tune the orchestra is playing, and a general sense of giddiness when the matter of rent is brought up. Forty is Life's Golden Age.

• I love the sound of snow... You can hear it even if you are only standing on a balcony. [The sound] is only minimal, not even a real noise: a breath, a trifle of a sound. You have the same thing in music: if in the score there is a pianissimo marked that ends in nothing. Up thee you can feel this 'nothing'. With an orchestra it is very difficult to achieve it. The Berlin Philharmonic manage it sometimes.

  Claudio Abbado

• Creo que mi primera impresión (de Bix Beiderbecke) fue la más duradera. Recuerdo claramente que pensé: "¿De qué planeta viene este tipo? ¿Es del espacio exterior? Nunca había oído nada parecido a su forma de tocar, ni en Chicago ni en ningún sitio. El tono... tenía ese maravilloso tono de corneta. Podría haber tocado en una orquesta sinfónica con ese tono. Pero también los intervalos que tocaba, las figuras... lo que demonios hiciera. Había un refinamiento en su forma de tocar. En aquella época yo tocaba una trompeta pequeña y podía tocar de memoria todos los solos de sus discos.

• I basically love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that whether it's Indian or it's Western. But in India, I think it's limited to filler music unfortunately. That's one thing I want to push in India where we have the infrastructure of an orchestra where you play Indian melodies with an orchestra and something different for a universal audience. It requires a lot of work from me.

• I tried to bring in the live orchestra like Bjork does. I love the feeling that that music gives me when I just listen to it. I mean it would be awesome to do an entire record like that. But unfortunately that's not my style. So rather than do a record like that I just got inspired by it.

• La gente cualificada son los músicos de orquesta sinfónica y de jazz; están cualificados para hacer lo que hacen. Las estrellas del rock tienen suerte. Es una combinación del momento adecuado, el lugar adecuado y tener ciertos genes o un truco o lo que sea, pero en realidad no es más que azúcar. Sabe bien y se va rápido.

• Satyagraha is an opera which I wrote for the Netherlands Opera, so it uses an orchestra of around fifty, a chorus of forty, and there are about seven soloists. The opera ... Satyagraha means truthful, so it was a name [Mahatma] Gandhi used to describe his civil disobedience movement.

• I'm happy to have interns at The Weekly Standard and happy to have readers of The Weekly Standard, but if you all tell me that you were busy reading Plato and [Lev] Tolstoy and playing violin in the orchestra, I'd say that was great. I wouldn't tell you to take time out from that to get involved in political journalism.

• When managers overdo micromanaging of others, they probably hired the wrong people or failed to give them a clear idea of what each one is to accomplish. I prefer to train employees to be self-managers, just as in an orchestra each performer knows his or her role without being micromanaged.

• Few tears will be shed over the demise of the East German army, but what about East Germany’s eighty symphony orchestras, bound to lose some subsidies? Or the whole East German system, which covered everyone in a security blanket from day care to health care, from housing to education? Some people are beginning to express, if ever so slightly, nostalgia for that Berlin Wall.
