Gian Carlo Menotti Music Quotations

I have always felt that art, especially music, is but a demonstration of God.

I have a heart problem, so I have to simplify my life and be content with memories and friends and music.

A Schubert song, the A-major chord at the opening of Wagner's 'Lohengrin' - such incredible beauty is a mystery, the divinity of music.

The only thing that interests me in music is to be able to reach into the, let's call it, 'collective unconscious' of what is noblest in the human spirit, the way you find in the music of Mozart and Beethoven and Verdi that wonderful quality that not a note can be changed.
