About the author
Maggie Cotton was born in Yorkshire in 1937 and has devoured music since her very early pianistic beginnings as a child. In the late 1950s, three years after leaving school, she trail-blazed her way into the male-dominated profession of symphony orchestra musician, landing herself a contract as a percussionist with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Since retirement, having played for the orchestra for forty years (eighteen with Simon Rattle), she has also worked as a music critic, and has at last gathered her experiences, from a player’s perspective, of the colourful and deeply satisfying world of the professional symphony orchestra in her autobiography ‘Wrong Sex, Wrong Instrument’. Maggie’s other published books are ‘Percussion Work Book’, ‘Agogo Bells to Xylophone’ and ‘The Classical Music Quiz Book’.
Definitions and origins Music is the art of sounds in the movement of time.
Anonymous Mathematics is music for the mind, music is mathematics for the soul.
Anonymous It is not easy to determine the nature of music, or why anyone should have the knowledge of it.
Aristotle (384-322BC) An agreeable harmony for the honour of God and the permissible delights of the soul .
Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750) Music is that which cannot be said but upon which it is impossible to be silent.
