Charles Ives Quotes About Lying

Quotes about: Lying

• Beauty in music is too often confused with something that lets the ears lie back in an easy chair.

Frequently, when a new or unfamiliar work is accepted as beautiful on its first hearing, its fundamental quality is one that tends to put the mind to sleep.
