"Of course I have used dissonance in my time, but
there has been too much dissonance. Bach used
dissonance as good salt for his music. Others
applied pepper, seasoned the dishes more and
more highly, till all healthy appetites were sick
and until the music was nothing but pepper."
AUTHOR: Sergei Prokofiev
MEANING OF THE QUOTE:
"Dissonance in music (different sounds that do not
blend pleasantly together) should be used like spices
are used in food; overuse will spoil the product."
