Jumping Quotes - page 10
Can you imagine a music in which tonality (that is, the adherence to any key) is completely suspended? I was constantly reminded of Kandinsky's large composition which also permits no trace of tonality.. ..and also of Kandinsky's 'jumping spots' in hearing this music [of Schönberg ], which allows each tone sounded to stand on its own (a kind of white canvas between the spots of color). Schönberg proceeds from the principle that the concepts of consonance and dissonance do not exist at all. A so-called dissonance is only a mere remote consonance – an idea which now occupies me constantly while painting..
Wassily Kandinsky
At first, I didn't think it had a chance of going out. I even thought I could catch it. But it kept jumping, and when it did leave the park at that spot, I just couldn't believe it.
Roberto Clemente
