Ahhh. . .

 . . . music . . .
 (from http://musicmagic.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/quotes-about-music/)   
Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.
– Benjamin Disraeli

Music is what feelings sound like.
– Author Unknown
   
Music is the poetry of the air.
– Richter
   
If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music.  It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. 
- Sydney Smith
   
Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.
– Henry David Thoreau

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
– Ludwig van Beethoven

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.  But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places.  Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.
– H.A. Overstreet

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.
– Edward Elgar
   
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
– Henry Ward Beecher
   
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
– Robert Fripp


[P.S.  Bill Pratt is truly all those things (see pianogonzology 9/29/2014) 'extraordinaire'-make no mistake]
