 ''"Probably the most influential composer in terms of how many people imitated his style, in recent years, that award would go to Webern first, for being the founder of the "boop-beep" school and also to [[Krzysztof Penderecki|Penderecki]] because of the "texture" music that a lot of people imitate. But I think that even his music grows out of some of the textural experiments that Varèse did. - Frank Zappa, quoted in: ''[[Frank Zappa on Edgar Varèse]]'', John Diliberto and Kimberly Haas for [[DownBeat]], 21 November 1981.
-''"The other composer who filled me with awe -- I couldn't believe that anybody would write music like that -- was Anton Webern. I heard an early recording on the Dial label with a cover by an artist named David Stone Martin -- it had one or two of Webern's string quartets, and his Symphony op. 21
