Quotes by Walter Raymond Spalding  (?)

“In reality, a musical idea is as wonderful a thing as we can conceive—a miracle of life and yet intangible, ethereal. The composer apparently creates something out of nothing, pure fancy being wrought into terms of communication.”
Walter Raymond Spalding, Music: An Art and a Language

“In all worthy music, in fact, the chief point of interest is the music itself which speaks to us in its own language of sound and rhythm. A knowledge of form is but a means to an end: for the composer, that he may express himself clearly and convincingly, and for the listener, that he may readily receive the message set forth.”
Walter Raymond Spalding, Music: An Art and a Language

“It is true that all music is the expression in tones of the imagination of the composer; true, also, that music must fulfil certain conditions of its own being. But imaginations differ.”
Walter Raymond Spalding, Music: An Art and a Language
