There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.

Willie Nelson

I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.

Lenny Kravitz

When I was younger, I had conversations with friends about wanting to create something different. Every young musician probably thinks that. But it's difficult to do, because there are only so many words, notes, melodies, songs. But as soon as I stopped thinking and started feeling, it worked. I didn't realize it till I was done.

FKA twigs

It is not hard to compose but it is wonderfully hard to let the superfluous notes fall under the table. . . So many melodies fly about, one must be careful not to tread on them.

Johannes Brahms

I have tried to avoid long numerical computations, thereby following Riemann's postulate that proofs should be given through ideas and not voluminous computations.

David Hilbert

I went through eight years of classical piano lessons without being able to read notes. I only have to hear a melody to be able to play it. It used to freak my piano teacher out when he finally noticed that notes don't make any sense to me and that I played by ear.

The way 'Lux' was made is that there are 12 sections in here, though two of them are joined together. So there are really 11 sections, in a sense, and each one uses five notes out of a palette of seven notes, and my palette is all the white notes on the piano. That was the original palette.

Brian Eno

There are seven notes - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni no one is original in the world. We have to play around the notes and make our own stuff.

Wolfgang Puck

I use my phone to record notes or hum melodies. That's how I remember them.

Astrid S

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.

Dean Koontz

The whole gamut of good and evil is in every human being, certain notes, from stronger original quality or most frequent use, appearing to form the whole character; but they are only the tones most often heard. The whole scale is in every soul, and the notes most seldom heard will on rare occasions make themselves audible.

Fanny Kemble

Some people like very predictable melodies, and others prefer the less likely notes.

Daniel Levitin

I don't want to write melodies anymore. I can only write really simple, dumb caveman melodies.

Derek E. Miller

When I was eight, my piano teacher played seven or eight notes, and I sang them. She stopped and looked at me in shock! That was the first time I'd gotten that reaction. I'd had looks of horror, but never shock in a positive way.
