Criticism
- "This music should be forbidden." (Hans Börnsen, 1957, after the première of the 2nd symphony, Archive of Bruckner-Kreis Nuremberg: A-BRK-N)
- "... musical creative power." (Bruno Walter, in a letter to the composer on April 25, 1957, about the 3rd symphony, A-BRK-N)
- "Such music we don't want." (Alfons Dressel, GMD of Nuremberg in the fifties, A-BRK-N)
- "The music is too much outside our time. And that it uses no appropriate, conformist tone language, a language to be seriously understood today, seems to me its greatest mistake, indeed, may be a fatal one. It is an absolute anachronism." (Peter Huber, letter of May 5, 2005. A-BRK-N)
- "I find the piano pieces by Martin Scherber which I was sent, very good." (Edwin Fischer, on the 'ABC Piano Pieces')
- "Thank you very much for your understanding comments on my book 'Talks about music' Your piano arrangement seems to me to be true and sensible - and that is the best thing one can say of a piano arrangement." (Wilhelm Furtwängler - on the piano arrangement of Bruckner's Symphonies by Martin Scherber, A-BRK-N)
- "That is real music again! Let it be performed!" (Siegfried Horvath, in the fifties, to the 1st symphony, A-BRK-N)
- "...broad as the Sea, nowhere fabricated, always interesting, never intellectual - and always alive..." (Karl Winkler, in the seventies, to the 3rd symphony, A-BRK-N)
- "The composer has radically renewed the form of the species and that in a way which by no means makes the perception more difficult" "All the more astonishing were Scherber's symphony for me: it is modern and nonetheless not modern, it is timeless. Only a great spirit could ignore, in total command of the situation, the usual leading ways of 'modernizing' the musical language, and out of his own depths form a mode of expression which has nothing to do with the unmusical experiments of the century, and nonetheless sounds absolutely original." (George Balan, to the 3rd symphony, in 2004, A-BRK-N)
- "One feels one isn't any more listening music but taking part in cosmic events and the mysteries of Creation." (Lilo Hammann-Rauno, in the fifties)

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

—John Vorster (1915–1983)

Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
