Do Nothing For Effect. Do It For

False Notes Can Be Forgiven, False Music Cannot.

A Great Work Is Made Out Of A Combination Of Obedience And Liberty.

The Great Conductor Is Always A Despot By Temperament And Intractable In His Ways. ... The Artist Is Obliged To Keep His Laughter And Tears To Himself. If They Want To Emerge, In Spite Of Himself, Then He Must Hide Them Or Unleash Them In Someone Else.

Art Is Not Emotion. Art Is The Medium In Which Emotion Is Expressed.

In Music Everything Is Prolonged, Everything Is Edified, And When The Enchantment Has Ceased, We Are Still Bathed In Its Clarity; Solitude Is Accompanied By A New Hope Between Pity For Ourselves - Which Makes Us More Indulgent And More Understanding - And The Certitude Of Finding Something Again, That Which Lives For Ever In Music.
