Carlo Grante quotes
-
“Classical music, fortunately or not, unfolds in time. It's not like a picture you can stare at for 10 seconds or 10 hours. You need the minimum amount of education and training, and society needs to find a way to study music - not only the performances, but how to compose, how to understand why Mozart was great at what he did.”
-- Carlo Grante -
“Bad music is often the result of an attempt by the untrained, something that takes for granted that you're very highly trained.”
-- Carlo Grante -
“The only work that can be compared to Chopin's Etudes, innovatively, where every note is essential and one becomes completely exposed, is the Brahms-Paganini variations. These are etudes - not as interesting musically as, say, the Brahms-Handel - but they are incredible.”
-- Carlo Grante -
“Bad music is the attempt to imitate something that has very strong rules and grammar.”
-- Carlo Grante -

“Some pianists seem to really remember the keys and not so much the notes they play. They want to learn until it's a physical habit that can be replicated. For pianists, this is much more of a problem than for other instruments, like the violin, where you actually have to think of the pitch.”
-- Carlo Grante
