• Necesitas el pasado como guía. La historia de la música es una buena base, pero para escapar de ese material, de ese tortuoso reglamento, primero hay que aprenderlo. Es como la religión: una vez escrita la Biblia, ya está, a otra cosa.

• Music expresses feeling, that is to say, gives shape and habitation to feeling, not in space but in time. To the extent that music has a history that is more than a history of its formal evolution, our feelings must have a history too. Perhaps certain qualities of feeling that found expression in music can be recorded by being notated on paper, have become so remote that we can no longer inhabit them as feelings, can get a grasp of them only after long training in the history and philosophy of music, the philosophical history of music, the history of music as a history of the feeling soul.

• La música clásica y el pop son dos universos diferentes, cada uno con sus propias dificultades, peculiaridades, profundidad y dignidad artística. En Italia, creo que hay una línea de demarcación bastante clara, pero la historia de la música está llena de fusiones. La música popular y la clásica siempre han encontrado puntos de contacto, de cruce, de intercambio, sacando ambas mutuo provecho.

  Andrea Bocelli

• If it has to be put in a box, it's a country record. But it's hard to do that, because it is inspired and influenced by the history of music in two different people's backgrounds. I think the focal point for many is the harmonies, and I think that is what is special and unique about it.

• El incomparable Michael Jackson ha tenido un mayor impacto en la música que ningún otro artista en la historia de la música. Era mágico. Era lo que todos aspiramos a ser. Siempre será el Rey del Pop. La vida no se trata de cuántas respiraciones tomas, sino de cuántos momentos en la vida te dejan sin aliento. Para cualquiera que haya visto, sentido o escuchado su arte, todos nos sentimos honrados de haber estado vivos en esta generación para experimentar la magia de Michael Jackson. Te quiero, Michael.

• There's no concession to the fact that Dylan might be a more sophisticated singer than Whitney Houston, that he's probably the most sophisticated singer we've had in a generation. Nobody is identifying our popular singers like a Matisse or Picasso. Dylan's a Picasso - that exuberance, range, and assimilation of the whole history of music.

• The point of recapitulation in the first movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony unleashes one of the most horrifyingly violent episodes in the history of music....The point is not to hold up Beethoven as exceptionally monstrous. The Ninth Symphony is probably our most compelling articulation in music of the contradictory impulses that have organized patriarchal culture since the Enlightenment. Moreover, within the parameters of his own musical compositions, he may be heard as enacting a critique of narrative obligations that is...devestating.
