A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.
我想推广诗歌，让所有秃头的孩子都跑来跑去做诗歌，把音乐挡在一边，只说不做，然后看看会发生什么。
In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.
关于音乐，我只是认为最好的态度是永远做一个学生，总是期待着学习新的音乐，因为总是有新的东西要学。
When I was a kid, award shows were super-interesting for me. But when I started making music, it was kind of hard to watch because I believed in what I was doing and yet knew I didn't really have a shot.
当我还是个孩子的时候，颁奖典礼对我来说非常有趣。但是当我开始创作音乐的时候，我很难去看，因为我相信我所做的，但我知道我没有真正的机会。
I always hated jazz guitar. I loved jazz saxophone but I hated jazz guitar. If I would buy an organ trio record I would make sure I'd buy one that did not have a guitar player on it. The sound was awful!
我一直讨厌爵士吉他。我喜欢爵士萨克斯管，但我讨厌爵士吉他。如果我要买一张管风琴三重奏唱片，我一定要买一张上面没有吉他手的。声音太可怕了!
Whenever you play dance music, it serves a function. It becomes a utility; you have to worry about the tempos and what you're going to play for people. But when you're playing for listening, you're free.
无论你什么时候演奏舞曲，它都是有作用的。它变成了一种效用;你必须考虑节奏和你要为人们演奏什么。但当你为倾听而演奏时，你是自由的。
I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind.
我很确定，所有真正的职业艺术家，无论他们的职业是绘画、音乐、雕塑、医学还是其他什么，他们都有一个首要的关注点——人类。
Ultimately, at the end of it, it's just trying to get into that space where you feel like you're hitting the right thing and you're making music. And it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive.
最终，在它的结尾，它只是试着进入那个空间，在那里你感觉你击中了正确的东西，你正在创造音乐。它给人的感觉是直觉的而不是反直觉的。
I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.
我想获得普利策奖。我想获得诺贝尔奖。我想为我正在创作的百老汇音乐剧赢得托尼奖。除此之外，我的抱负并不高。
The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, "Is there a meaning to music?" My answer would be, "Yes." And "Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?" My answer to that would be, "No."
整个问题可以简单地通过问“音乐有意义吗?”我的回答是:“是的。”“你能用这么多的词来说明它的意思吗?”我的回答是，“不。”
It is essential to do everything possible to attract young people to opera so they can see that it is not some antiquated art form but a repository of the most glorious music and drama that man has created.
重要的是要尽一切可能吸引年轻人去听歌剧，这样他们就能看到，歌剧不是某种过时的艺术形式，而是人类创造的最辉煌的音乐和戏剧的宝库。
The art music of the West has developed through out its history by means of individual geniuses, and out of the soil supporting them; non-Western musicians were born, and grew like the grasses of the field.
西方的艺术音乐是通过个人的天才在其历史中发展起来的，而且是在支持他们的土壤中发展起来的;非西方音乐家诞生了，并像野草一样生长。
As for the symphonic activities... when I was a student at the Eastman School of Music, I became exposed to a lot more musical forms, elements, opportunities, and I fell in love with strings and their uses.
至于交响乐活动…当我还是伊士曼音乐学院的一名学生时，我接触到了更多的音乐形式、元素和机会，我爱上了弦乐及其用途。

When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.
当我上学的时候，你必须学习艺术，你必须演奏乐器。你必须演奏乐器。但从那时起，一切都退化了。我不知道我们是什么样的国家，把艺术、音乐和体育从公立学校的课程中剔除。
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
据说音乐是天使的语言。
If you ask someone if they like music, they look at you strangely. It seems to be a universal given. Like asking someone if they like breathing. It is like breathing. Or air, rather. Flowing without and within. A matrix within which our lives are set. The setting for the tableware of our beings.
如果你问某人是否喜欢音乐，他们会奇怪地看着你。这似乎是一个普遍的假定。比如问别人是否喜欢呼吸。就像呼吸一样。或空气,而。内外流动。一个我们的生活被设定在其中的矩阵。
