3 quotes from The Rest Is Noise

"Music is the most irreplaceable expression of the human experience, and throughout history, it reflects the trepidations, aspirations, and spirit of its time."
"In the tumult of the 20th century, composers became both the chroniclers and challengers of their society, transforming personal expression into collective commentary."
"The power of music lies not only in its notes but in its ability to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and articulate the inarticulate struggles of humanity."
