Appetite Quote by Sergei Prokofiev

“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.” quote by Sergei Prokofiev — Download Open image
