When you play a piece of music there are so many different ways you could play it. You keep asking yourself what if. You try this and you say what if and you try that. When you buy a CD you get one answer to the question. You never get the what if. Helen DeWitt
About This Quote

When you play a piece of music there are so many different ways you could play it. You keep asking yourself what if. You try this and you say what if and you try that. When you buy a CD you get one answer to the question.

You never get the what if. When you have a chance to listen to somebody’s music, the first thing that comes into your mind is if they are good or not. The second thought is whether he/she is your style or not.

There is no room for the what ifs.
