Edward Elgar Quotes:
Ocupation: Composer
Life: June 2, 1857 - February 23, 1934
Birthday: June 2
Death: February 23
An Englishman will take you into a large room, beautifully proportioned, and will point out to you that it is white- all over white- and somebody will say what exquisite taste. You know in your own mind, in your own soul, that it is not taste at all˘that is the want of taste˘that is mere evasion. English music is white and evades everything.
