I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.

Music is ... A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy

I like your opera - I think I will set it to music

To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable!

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.

Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.

To make a mistake is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.

Is it not beautiful?
