The most important thing in music is what is not in the note

Summary

This quote suggests that while the notes themselves may be important in music, what truly matters is the emotion, intention, and expression conveyed beyond just the written or played notes. It implies that the spaces and pauses between the notes, as well as the personal interpretation and artistic expression infused into them, hold great significance in creating a powerful musical experience. In other words, it emphasizes the importance of artistry, depth, and the intangible elements that go beyond the literal musical composition.

Yes! thank God; human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty - it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it. ... There are few prophets in the world; few sublimely beautiful women; few heroes. I can't afford to give all my love and reverence to such rarities: I want a great deal of those feelings for my everyday fellow-men, especially for the few in the foreground of the great multitude, whose faces I know, whose hands I touch, for whom I have to make way with kindly courtesy.
