Polyphony Quotes

• The idea is distributed in space. It isn't only in one part; one part can't express the idea any longer, only the union of parts can completely express the idea. The idea found it necessary to be presented by several parts. After that, there was a rapid flowering of polyphony.

  Anton Webern

• La monarquía puede ser fácilmente "desacreditada", pero observen los rostros, observen bien a los desacreditadores.

Allí donde los hombres tienen prohibido honrar a un rey, honran en su lugar a millonarios, atletas o estrellas de cine: Porque la naturaleza espiritual, como la corporal, será servida; niégale el alimento y engullirá veneno.
