After working with Ligeti I began to hear Brahms and Beethoven differently.
Esa-Pekka Salonen
Brahms believed that there was no need to publish absolutely everything that Schubert ever wrote.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
Brahms' Variations are better than mine, but mine were written before his.
Franz Liszt
I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.
Oscar Peterson
If you go to Japan for instance, you should know that they have a different way of playing Beethoven or Brahms. But if you play with them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, they have a wonderful light feeling for that.
Kurt Masur
That was one of the big problems when I was at Harvard studying music. We had to write choral pieces in the style of Brahms or Mendelssohn, which was distressing because in the end you realized how good Brahms is, and how bad you are.
Elliott Carter
The Detroit String Quartet played Brahms last night. Brahms lost.
Bennett Cerf
