Komponieren / Composing Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Komponieren / Composing:

I've been writing and composing songs since I was 5 years old. Olivia d'Abo

Since I started composing I have always worked with series of tempos, even superimposed the music of different groups of musicians, of singers, instrumentalists who play and sing in different tempos simultaneously and then meet every now and then in the same tempo.

Karlheinz Stockhausen

I don't hate work, composing is not work for me, it's my pleasure; it's my life. So why should I stop? If something is pleasurable and exciting and rewarding, why should one stop?

Gunther Schuller

While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor, he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory.

Dweezil Zappa

There are people who must spend huge amounts of time composing these online diatribes against me, all about how disgusting and terrible I am and how no one should ever read my books, and it's not enough for them to hate me, they can't stand the fact that ANYONE likes me!

Poppy Z. Brite

I was writing notes, but not composing poems. The Hunter began to develop out of this fragmented process.

George Murray

I did quite a lot of the arranging, fitting different sections together, tempo changes, all sorts of things like that. I actually acted as a bridge between Robert and Ian. Not so much composing, rather presenting musical ideas at each rehearsal.

Michael Giles

If you see everything through the lens, you are constantly composing pictures. I think in pictures; I don't think in text.

Alison Jackson

Composing is what I love most from what I do. Each genre has a unique expression that you cannot supplant with another. All the records co-inspire each other though they are not tied conceptually in any way to another.

Serj Tankian

I have come up with very creative ideas that really didn't work with the song I was currently composing.

Ken Hill

There is nothing greater than the joy of composing something oneself and then listening to it.

Clara Schumann

I love making music, I love composing on my computer, just making crazy ethnic slack orchestral tracks, that's one of my fun things.

Casey Abrams

Sometimes I think that creativity is a matter of seeing, or stumbling over, unobvious similarities between things - like composing a fresh metaphor, but on a more complex scale.

David Mitchell

My mother was a classical pianist and my stepfather was an industrialist who was passionate about composing contemporary music.

Carla Bruni

I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done.

Franz Schubert

My mother also had us take piano lessons, and this had a similar effect. I hated those lessons, but I now play regularly for pleasure and have even tried my hand at composing.

Robert B. Laughlin

I try not to observe myself in the process of composing a poem because I don't want to come up with a formula, which I would then be unscrupulous in using.

Thom Gunn

To me, writing and composing are much more like painting, about colors and brushes; I don't use a computer when I write, and I don't use a piano. I'm at a desk writing, and it's very broad strokes and notes as colors on a palette.

James Horner

Composing is like driving down a foggy road toward a house. Slowly you see more details of the house-the color of the slates and bricks, the shape of the windows. The notes are the bricks and the mortar of the house.

Benjamin Britten

Poetry is composing for the breath.

Peter Davison

I don't meditate before I play or compose, but I see playing and composing as meditative acts.

Steve Swallow

Composing is my life blood.

Morton Gould

I don't like to box myself in when I'm composing.

Roscoe Mitchell

When I am seriously composing, sometimes a phrase will come into my head, a catch phrase. When I was writing pop songs for a few years, as a career, separate from my folksinging career, I used to write songs for pop singers.

Tom Glazer

There will have to be times when I'm not conducting because I'm composing. I haven't solved that problem, and perhaps I never will.

Esa-Pekka Salonen

One of the major aspects of film composing is that it's not so much a musical thing as it is communicating your ideas with the director, who often does not come from a musical background.

Marco Beltrami

I was very committed to the process of composing, working at poems, putting things together and taking them apart like some kind of experimental filmmaker.

David Antin

The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.

T. S. Eliot

I wonder if we are all wrong about each other, if we are just composing unwritten novels about the people we meet?

Rebecca West

I'd always loved poetry and I'd always loved writing music and composing music, but I hadn't thought of putting the two together until around that time.

Bruce Cockburn

You might lose your spontaneity and, instead of composing first-rate Gershwin, end up with second rate Ravel.

Maurice Ravel

With women composing nearly half the American workforce and increasingly serving as the primary breadwinner for families, we can't afford to treat pregnant women differently than their counterparts, especially when slight job modifications could help them stay in the workforce at no risk to their health.

Valerie Jarrett

Yes, sampling has changed not just my way of playing and composing.

Klaus Schulze

I suspect that authors who start their careers writing for an adult audience - and who eventually produce a young adult novel or two - are more common than authors who begin by writing for young adults and who then gravitate toward composing something for an adult audience.

Paul Di Filippo

What I wanted and what I visualized while composing has not always been realized.

Gustav Mahler

I think my playing has been orchestral throughout the years, and this is another way of expressing that. But I primarily see it as the ultimate accomplishment of a musician. Composing makes me feel like I've finally gotten all the way up the ladder as a musician.

Tony Williams

It is hard work composing a song for a film and showing it to makers: 50% of the tune remains the same, and the remaining 50% is changed to suit the script.

Mohit Chauhan
