Charles Burney Frasi e Citazioni

“Ci formiamo un'idea così romantica di Venezia per la sua ben nota e singolare posizione, che ora essa non risponde per nulla alle mie aspettative, specie dopo aver esaminato le vedute di Canaletto, tutte d'un solo colore: io trovo che questa, come altre famose città, è composta di cose diverse per dimensioni, per ordini architettonici, per tempo, per materiali.”

Music, Men and Manners in France and Italy, 1770 (1969) p. 94.

“Now, as discord is allowable, and even necessarily opposed to concord, why may not noise, or a seeming jargon, be opposed to fixed sounds and harmonical proportion? Some of the discords in modern music, unknown till this century, are what the ear can but just bear, but have a very good effect as to contrast. The severe laws of preparing and resolving discord, may be too much adhered to for great effect; I am convinced that provided the ear be at length made amends, there are few dissonances too strong for it.”

“With respect to excellence of Style and Composition, it may perhaps be said that to practised ears the most pleasing Music is such as has the merit of novelty, added to refinement, and ingenious contrivance; and to the ignorant, such as is most familiar and common.”
