“Any great work of art... revives and re-adapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the
extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world - the extent to which it invites you in and lets
you breathe its strange, special air.”
AUTHOR: Leonard Bernstein
MEANING OF THE QUOTE:
“A great piece of music can transport your imagination back in
time, ahead in the future, make you laugh or cry, and send you
to exotic places.”
“A great piece of music can transport your imagination back in
