Tubas Quotes

• I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.

  Lou Reed

• The Violins waltzed. The Cellos and Basses provided accompaniment. The Violas mourned their fate, while the Concertmaster showed off. The Flutes did bird imitations…repeatedly, and the reed instruments had the good taste to admire my jacket. The Trumpets held a parade in honor of our great nation, while the French Horns waxed nostalgic about something or other. The Trombones had too much to drink. The Percussion beat the band, and the Tuba stayed home playing cards with his landlady, the Harp, taking sips of warm milk a blue little cup. “But the Composer is still dead.

• Si las universidades quisieran admitir sólo a los legados, o sólo a los que tocan la tuba, o sólo a los que obtienen puntuaciones asombrosamente bajas en el SAT -para asegurarse de que algunos de sus graduados serán senadores de EE.UU. algún día-, la Constitución no se lo impediría. Lo que los Estados, incluidas las universidades públicas, no pueden hacer según la Constitución es discriminar por motivos de raza.

• And the people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor, I don't know who is.

• Considero un escándalo nacional la cantidad de cerebros que se dedican a la gestión del dinero. Cuando algún idiota se hacía rico, decía: 'Bueno, el viejo Charlie estaba en el campo tocando la gran tuba de metal el día que llovió oro'. Últimamente se ha enriquecido mucha gente que tocaba la tuba el día que llovió oro.

• La voz supersónica de Ella la siguió hasta Bleecker Street y luego se disolvió entre la ruidosa profusión de tiendas, cafés y restaurantes y la aglomeración de gente que hacían del West Village de Manhattan un lugar único en el mundo. En una sola manzana podías comprar estatuas de fertilidad procedentes de Tanzania, raras orquídeas amazónicas, una tuba de latón empeñada, donuts de Krispy Kreme o la mejor y más cara taza de café que jamás hubieras probado. Fueron los donuts, por cierto, lo que atrajo a Gaia.

• I don't want somebody who writes like me [in my writing staff]. Because I can write like me. I know what I'm capable of and what my limitations are. If you're going to build an orchestra, you don't want all tubas - you want a violin and you want a cello and you want a drum set.

• [Larry Laurenzano] gave me a junior high school saxophone to take to high school, because I was always taking one of our school horns home to practice and I couldn't afford to buy one. He gave my friend, Tyrone, a tuba and he gave me a junior high saxophone for each of us to use at Performing Arts High School with. My audition piece was selections from Rocky. We were not sophisticated. But we had some spirit about it. We enjoyed it, and it was a way out.

• That's a big trunk," James said, as we jammed in the leathery old case that looked so much like the black heart of some leviathan. "It fits a tuba, three suitcases, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly." "That's just what they used to say in the ads," I said.
