About this Quote

This quote by Yehudi Menuhin speaks with the power of music to bring order to chaos. He recommends that rhythm produces a sense of unity among diverse components, tune provides connection in between relatively disconnected parts, and consistency combines seemingly incompatible elements. To put it simply, music has the capability to take disparate components and create something beautiful and unified. This is why music has been used throughout history to bring individuals together and to produce a sense of consistency and peace. Music has the power to bring order to chaos and to create something beautiful out of relatively diverse aspects. It is a powerful tool for creating unity and consistency in a chaotic world.
