Music, I feel, must be emotional first and intellectual second.–Maurice Ravel
I haven’t understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.–Igor Stravinsky
It’s the way you play that makes it . . . Play like you play. Play like you think, and then you got it, if you’re going to get it. And whatever you get, that’s you, so that’s your story.–Count Basie
