Quotes by Charles Rosen (?)

“A love of classical music is only partially a natural response to hearing the works performed; it also must come about by a decision to listen carefully, to pay close attention, a decision inevitably motivated by the cultural and social prestige of the art.”
― Charles Rosen

“A cough is the basic sign of inattention. Musicians never, in my experience, cough when playing in public.”

“To appreciate a new and difficult style, as I have said, takes an act of will, a decision to experience it again.”
