"One bites into the brass mouthpiece of his wooden cudgel, and the other blows his cheeks out on a French horn. Do you call that Art?"

This quote by Franz Schubert is a funny way of questioning the definition of art. He is comparing two seemingly unassociated activities, one of biting into a brass mouthpiece of a wooden cudgel and the other of blowing one's cheeks out on a French horn. He is asking if these activities can be considered art. This quote is a way of Schubert expressing his opinion that art is subjective and can be interpreted in several methods. He is suggesting that art is not limited to a specific kind of activity or product, however can be found in several types. He is likewise suggesting that art is something that is open to interpretation and can be found in the most unanticipated places. This quote is a reminder that art is something that can be discovered in the most unlikely of locations which it is up to the private to choose what is and isn't art.
