“Of all existing entertainments, musical art is the most unfortunate, inactive, and uninteresting. The true function of music is not to entertain or distract, but to attract, collect, hypnotically concentrate the feelings and thoughts of the listeners. Our muse turns away from those who by their nature are not attracted to her. She punishes with severe boredom those who seek in her but the excitement of idle thought.”

-Nikolai Medtner
