Synopsis
"Wagner's music", as one wag prt it, "is better than it sounds".
It may, in fact, have been Mark Twain who said it (the jury's still out on that one), but whoever it was, he couldn't have said it better. And that's just one of the many hundreds of literary/musical gems you'll find in David W. Barber's latest Sound and Vision book, "Better than it Sounds: A Dictionary of Humorous Musical Quotations". Sometimes pithy, sometimes provocative, sometimes profound and always amusing, these quotes by and about famous (and not-so-famous) musicians will brighten your day - maybe even make you see music in a whole new light.
