Composing a concert is like composing a menu.... If you start with light pieces and play a 45-minute sonata after the interlude, it's like starting dinner with hors d'oeuvres and dessert and finishing with a Châteaubriand and vegetables.

Arthur Rubinstein

I always tend to think that composing is not playing an instrument, composing is having something in your head that's steaming and it has to go out. It has to become sounds and be written. It's an emotion that you can't repress.

Alexandre Desplat

It is always the same with me; only when I experience something do I compose, and only when composing do I experience! After all, a musician's nature can hardly be expressed in words.

Gustav Mahler

Composing a melody or a western song is easier than composing a commercial number.

Mani Sharma

Composing for concert performance is a somewhat lonely occupation, but composing a film score is highly collaborative.

William P. Perry

My best film composing experience was with Elia Kazan.

Alex North

Since age seven, I've been composing and have never stopped composing, yet, the creative process is as elusive to me as it has ever been.

Lukas Foss

I used to do most of my composing at a little table in a cafe. Composing for 52 instruments, I had to figure out how to accommodate myself to the small table.

Krzysztof Penderecki

I was 7 years old when I began composing. I began composing, improvising at the piano, the usual story.

Samuel Barber

I don't meditate before I play or compose, but I see playing and composing as meditative acts.

Steve Swallow

When you're in a play, you never really have a sense of what an audience is experiencing. The experience of doing a play is so different from the experience of seeing it.

Kate Arrington

All of my acoustic playing came from my songwriting. All of the chords I've learned and all of the voicings I play them in are a direct result of composing.

Mat Kearney

Normally, if you play a part, you have the words, and you invent the personality out of your experience, your knowledge - your life, in a way.

Barbara Sukowa

What Metallica always tries to do, as we go around and play a lot of the same cities, over and over again, year after year, is to give a different experience. We try to never play the same venues, or if we play indoors, we'll play outdoors, and all that type of stuff. It's always about just trying to do a different kind of experience.

Lars Ulrich

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90's singing sensation Tori Amos.

Erin O'Connor

Some people ask me what instruments I play, but usually I'll just say I'm more of a producer or a composer or songwriter - those are my strongest suits: arranging and composing.

Gus Dapperton
