Quotes about bach, page 2

Robert Graves

Letter to S.S. from Mametz Wood

I never dreamed we’d meet that day
In our old haunts down Fricourt way,
Plotting such marvellous journeys there
For jolly old “Après-la-guerre.”

Well, when it’s over, first we’ll meet
At Gweithdy Bach, my country seat
In Wales, a curious little shop
With two rooms and a roof on top,
A sort of Morlancourt-ish billet
That never needs a crowd to fill it.
But oh, the country round about!
The sort of view that makes you shout
For want of any better way
Of praising God: there’s a blue bay
Shining in front, and on the right
Snowden and Hebog capped with white,
And lots of other jolly peaks
That you could wonder at for weeks,
With jag and spur and hump and cleft.

Jet Set

By a fountain back in rome I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in athens you said you loved me too
And it was april in paris when I first held you close to me
Rome, georgia, athens, texas and paris, tennessee
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
Theres no riviera
In festus, missouri
And you wont find onassis
In mullinville, kansas
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
But aint we got love
No, were not the jet set
Were the old chevro-let set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weenies
Our bach and tchaikovsky
Is haggard and husky
No, were not the jet set

The Jet Set

By a fountain back in rome i fell in love with you
In a small cafe in athens you said you loved me too
And it was april in paris when i first held you close to me
Rome, georgia, athens, texas and paris, tennessee
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old chevro-let set
There's no riviera
In festus, missouri
And you won't find onassis
In mullinville, kansas
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old chevro-let set
But ain't we got love
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old chevro-let set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weenies
Our bach and tchaikovsky
Is haggard and husky
No, we're not the jet set

What comprises good performance? The ability through singing or playing to make the ear conscious of the true content and affect of a composition.

A musician cannot move others unless he too is moved. He must of necessity feel all of the affects that he hopes to arouse in his audience, for the revealing of his own humour will stimulate a like humour in the listener.

According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value.

Edvard Grieg

Artists like Bach and Beethoven erected churches and temples on the heights. I wanted, as Ibsen expresses it in once of his last dramas, to build dwellings for men in which they might feel at might feel happy and at home.

Das Brückerl

Das Brückerl am Bach
Wo das Wasser fliesst sacht
Wenn es stolpert über Stock und Stein
Dann fühlte ich mich nie allein
In den Bäumen säuselt the Wind
Wie schön war es dort als ich noch ein Kind
Die Amsel sang ihr Lied so süß
Grillen zirpten bis es ward düsk
Jahre später dort hin mein Liebster kam
Mich stürmisch in die Arme nahm
Ein zarter Kuss bedeckt mein Mund
Wir liebten uns gar manche Stund
Die Zeit verging und all die schönen Tage
Was morgen kommt war nie eine Frage
Doch Morgen kam aus war der Traum
Traurig klang das Lied der Amsel im Baum
Der Wind verwehte uns auseinander weit
Ich war keine Braut im weissen Kleid
Doch hold war uns das Leben
Es hat uns beiden viel gegeben
