About This Quote
When you can write music that endures, bravo. Until then, keep quiet and study the work of those who can. Charles Ives, a Norwegian American composer, was known for his ability to compose music that could endure through time. He was one of America’s greatest composers and had a huge influence on American music after he moved to this country. However, he once said that he wanted to be thought of as just another composer who could keep the same quality of music he had before he left Norway.
