 When you take on setting Albert Einstein’s aphorisms to music, you discover that many statements attributed to Einstein were never uttered or written by him. The source texts I used are footnoted. I made musical elisions and paraphrased for rhythm. *Please scroll down to read Einstein’s full original quotations © The Hebrew University of Jerusalem With permission of the Albert Einstein Archives May this music energize you to explore Albert Einstein for yourself: Verse 1 Your imagination’s more important than your knowledge. Imagination encircles the world. /i Imagination is everything; Independent of opinions of others /ii Relatively… Simply relative Chorus 1 The most important thing: Don’t stop questioning. Curiosity makes its own reasons /iii “Gedankentraum!” Whoever can no longer wonder and be amazed is as good as dead /iv Relatively… Simply relative Bridge 1 The most beautiful thing to experience is the mysterious /v It’s comprehensible! /vi Chorus 2 Don’t stop questioning. Imagination embraces the entire world. Verse 2 Imagination is everything! It’s the source of all true art and science. Chorus 3 [Relativity] Don’t stop questioning Curiosity makes its own reasons. “Gedankentraum!” The knowledge of what is doesn’t open the doors to what should be /vii Bridge 2 This world’s eternal mystery is that it’s logical. It’s comprehensible! /viii Chorus 4 The most important thing: Don’t stop questioning Curiosity makes its own reasons. Whoever can no longer wonder and be amazed is as good as dead! Relatively… Simply relative Outro Your imagination’s more important… Your imagination… i 1929 Saturday Evening Post interview by George Sylvester Viereck & 1931 “Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms” Original context: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.
