Two similar quotes

Arnold Schoenberg wrote, "There is still much good music that can be written in C major."

Sergei Prokofiev wrote, "There are still so many beautiful things to be said in C-Major."

Though one would be advised to find the quote in its original language to parse it carefully, the essence is the same. The expression is, though, very refined and different in each. I wish that I could cite the exact source, but I am unable to at the moment.

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” – Oscar Wilde


I spent a little time trying to find the Schönberg statement in its original German, but I haven't had much luck. -tgk, 2015.05.25
