"Therefore both music and architecture have to adapt themselves to such utilitarian purposes and to subordinate their own aims to those that are foreign to them. For architecture this is almost always unavoidable, but not for music, which freely moves in the concert, the sonata, and above all the symphony, its finest scene of action wherein it celebrates its saturnalia." ("Metaphysics of the Beautiful and Aesthetics", pg. 121)
