Paul Gégauff: Le pianiste

Quotes 

• Le pianiste : There's two sorts of music: music you listen to and music you don't. Mozart you listen to. Just imagine all the royalties the poor man would get nowadays. Music you don't listen to is what's called modern "serious" music. No one goes to the concerts. Real modern music, paradoxically, is based on Mozart's harmonies. You hear bits of Mozart in Dario Moreno, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones or whatever. Fundamentally Mozart harmonies. Modern "serious" music looked for others, resulting in what is probably the biggest disaster in the history of art.
