Presentation transcript:

Creative Quotations from Igor Stravinsky ( ) born on Jun 17 Russian composer; He greatly influenced modern music through his ballets, The Firebird, 1910 and The Rite of Spring, 1912.

I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I've felt it.

Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.

A good composer does not imitate, he steals.

I have learned… chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.

What gives the artist real prestige is his imitators.
