Leo Ornstein quotes
" A person improvising is sometimes very fortunate that just at that second things coincide. "

Leo Ornstein
" Actually, if you're visually watching the performer, probably a good deal of your attention has now been diverted from the very thing that your attention should be on, and that is listening to the music, listening to the combinations that are being performed for you right there. "

Leo Ornstein
" Actually, we've got to admit that the large proportion of the concert-going public has still not entirely reconciled itself to the modern idiom. "

Leo Ornstein
" Because essentially Schoenberg was an extremely gifted man. And in spite of many of his theories and so on, when he really began to write music, he still was guided very much by his internal hearing, by what we call your internal ear. "

Leo Ornstein
" Besides merely some pleasure that we get out of the combinations of pitches together and lines, I think that there is some satisfaction that we get in the fact of having this diffuse thing organized very concretely and put onto a frame and have it actually decided. "

Leo Ornstein
" Besides, the interesting thing is this: that it's not at all impossible that a person taking a piece of your own music may play it in some fashion that hadn't even occurred to you and which you would be perfectly accepting - you will simply say Yes, I think it enhances the piece, played that way. "

Leo Ornstein
" But in the end, music is ultimately an aural art, pure and simple. "

Leo Ornstein
" By the visual pattern, but mostly I'm guided entirely by my ear, what I hear. "

Leo Ornstein
" By the way, the point between rationality and what we would call the irrational is a very difficult point to establish. There's no specific line, as you know. "

Leo Ornstein
" Every time I'm a bit surprised always, what the patterns look like and what the whole thing looks like because, of course, I primarily hear. "

Leo Ornstein
" Hopefully, I have a certain amount of what you call musical talent. "

Leo Ornstein
" I consider that my own personal life and anecdotes may be amusing enough and interesting enough, but they're in a different realm. "

Leo Ornstein
" I distrust anything that you don't hear. "

Leo Ornstein
" I haven't the faintest idea, my dear child, why one series of notes going that-a-way makes something change in the motive that hounds us, and another chord that goes that-a-way simply leaves us absolutely, utterly unmoved. "

Leo Ornstein
" I know that there are some people who apparently operate with their eyes on the paper. They are more guided almost by the pattern. "
