Music: A Book of Quotations

More than 400 memorable quotes are arranged alphabetically by author, from Fred Allen ("When Jack Benny plays the violin, it sounds as if the strings are still back in the cat.") to Friedrich Nietzsche ("Is Wagner a human being at all? Is he not rather a disease?") to Florian Zabach ("A musical talent is like having six fingers on one hand. You're born with it, you're different because of it, you can't do a thing about it.").
