Not sure I understand that, is it only for those who make music or does ones taste in or enjoyment of music fit into the statement?
She was referring to composers, conductors, musicians.
She taught many of the leading conductors, composers and musicians of the 20th century. Influential only begins to capture her influence.

On further thought, if one has a deep connection to music it could apply to listeners.
In speaking with dancers, including a family member who dances ballet, they have varying approaches to the music to which they dance. Some have intimate relationships. For others, it is a tool akin to a painter’s pigments; necessary, and quality matters, but merely a means to expression, a leaping off point.
Thanks for the question. It makes me think.

I wonder if we substitute Audio for Physics it is still a valid statement?

My friend is an avid golfer. His friend asked him how he liked the game. He said “I play in the low '70’s”. His friend said “That’s a good score isn’t it?” My friend said “That’s not my score. I don’t play unless it’s in the low '70’s outside.”

“we live in a world where honesty counts as weakness and liars are carried on hands”
no, it’s older than just 4 years…it’s from Albert Einstein 
I do not believe this is an Einstein quote, citation?
I think you may be right that it’s falsely attributed to Einstein.
Although it’s so often cited that there are stickers and similar available, it seems to be fake more probably than not.

Boulder? Boulderado used to be my home away from home.
Yeah, but it was 60 here today with no snow down here on the high plains. The Boulderado is cool, if old-fashioned. This area is my version of Florida. 300 sunny days a year. But with Seasons.

Quote of the week:
“What we’ve lost — and all the accompanying grief — can’t be captured by numbers: It’s individual, nuanced, and ever-changing. It will take years for women to fully return to the workforce, likely to lower wages. The damage will be long term.”
— Angela Garbes, author of Like a Mother , in “The Numbers Don’t Tell the Whole Story”
“Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.”

If that quote is from Edison I guess he didn’t have too many issues electrocuting elephants to prove his DC power system was the “best” and “safest”. What a hypocrite.
