Some of my favourite composer quotes
If you reblog please leave the source in place, thank youMy music nerd self just has to point out that even though this was reblogged from a “classical composers” blog, most of these guys are late Romantic/Postmodern composers.
I make no promises ;)

“Although interesting, my training on how to analyze a Bartok String Quartet has never been of any practical use to me in my thirty five years as a professional performer. Yet, if I had had some training and experience in labor law and negotiating while attending my alma mater, I might not have gotten screwed out of approximately five thousand dollars in salary when I won my first symphonic position.”

Joshua Dent's Improvised Journey
Okay, so I’ve been posting about a certain someone’s Kickstarter quite a bit recently while otherwise neglecting this blog (finals are over, so I shall return this week). I rarely, if ever, endorse anything on this blog, but I truly believe that Joshua Dent deserves to make this album. I only have a glimmer of understanding of how it is to be a professional cellist, but I do believe that if there is no fraternity in music, then it cannot be made.
In this spirit, I ask you to at least check out this page, watch the video, as well as music samples, and share all of these things with friends/family/followers even if you cannot/do not contribute! His music is really phenomenal and inspiring, and he’s an excellent person of character. I really want to see him succeed in this. The page has six days left and I believe that he can make it.
Thank you!

Radiohed’s Pyramid Song
Covered by me!
Kickstarter is $1215/$3000!
Check it out, if I don’t reach my goal I don’t get to make my album because there will be zero funding. So, definitely spread this around if you like cello!
