About This Quote
The masterpieces of music are great works of art whose creators were so great that they could not be surpassed. Many people may claim to be the creators of beautiful music, but it takes someone greater than anyone else to create something so unique and time honored. Anyone who claims to be the top leader in any industry should take note of the fact that their position is based on past achievements and not current ones.
