Notation Quotations
As the mother teaches her children how to express themselves in their language, so one Gypsy musician teaches the other. They have never shown any need for notation.
Franz Liszt
The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.
Elias Canetti
My being a teacher had a decisive influence on making language and systems as simple as possible so that in my teaching, I could concentrate on the essential issues of programming rather than on details of language and notation.
Niklaus Wirth
I wrote music as soon as I knew notation.
Harrison Birtwistle
To speak about notation as the only way that you can guarantee structure of course is already very suspect.
Evan Parker
Sometimes I write them down in musical notation as a trigger to remind me about certain directions to go. Or I can be specific about a sound I'm looking for.
Harold Budd
