George Crumb
 Although technical discussions are interesting to composers, I suspect that the truly magical and spiritual powers of music arise from deeper levels of our psyche. |
| Although we must be impressed by the enormous accruement of new elements of vocabulary in the areas of pitch, rhythm, timbre, and so forth, I sense at the same time the loss of a majestic unifying principle in much of our recent music. |
| An American or European composer, for example, now has access to the music of various Asian, African, and South American cultures. |
| An interesting practice in music since the atonal period of the Viennese composers has been the widespread use of a few tiny pitch cells. |
| Apart from these broader cultural influences which contribute to the shaping of our contemporary musical psyche, we also have to take into account the rather bewildering legacy of the earlier twentieth-century composers in the matter of compositional technique and procedure. |
| As interesting as that music can occasionally be, I don't think it really replaces the other. |
| But I don't think it's a good thing to create less than good music in a world that's full of a lot of indifferent music. |
| I am certain that most composers today would consider today's music to be rich, not to say confusing, in its enormous diversity of styles, technical procedures, and systems of esthetics. |
| I am optimistic about the future of music. |
| I frequently hear our present period described as uncertain, confused, chaotic. |
| I have observed, too, that the people of the many countries that I have visited are showing an ever increasing interest in the classical and traditional music of their own cultures. |
| I must confess, my Spanish is not so good - except I read a little, so I started with the English but then determined that it would have to be in Spanish. |
| I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music. |
| I sometimes wonder, too, if people don't have kind of a window of time when they do their best work. And anything after that is like a gift. |
| I think we're in a very low point of music right now. |
