Quotes

“	Beethoven did break musical rules in the service of beauty, whereas nowadays there are many who break them for very different reasons (and there are others, who are not even familiar with the rules). A state of chaos has occurred in music, and it was caused by ignorance. Goethe’s thought had forewarned us: Nothing is more frightful than ignorance, when it becomes operative!	”
	— Stanko Prek^[1]
