Quote of the Day (Bernard Holland, on Musical Echoes)

“Creating music indoors is like throwing a number of balls around a four-sided handball court and waiting for them to come back to you. If the balls are of different sizes and thrown at different speeds, your ears, so to speak, will have their hands full.”—American music critic Bernard Holland, “How's That Again? An Echoing Refrain,” The New York Times, Dec. 20, 2025
