"God gave us music in the first place so that we might be led upwards by it. Music blends every quality in itself, it can exalt, it can distract us, it can cheer us; indeed it is capable of melting the toughest of hearts with its gentle, plaintive tones. Yet its main purpose is to lead our thoughts to higher things, to lift us up, even move us deeply... All those who disdain it are to be regarded as inane, animal-like creatures."
Friedrich Nietzsche
