My Heart Pounds Sickeningly And I Turn

When You Play, Do Not Trouble Yourself As To Who Is Listening. Yet Always Play As Though A Master Listened To You.

My Symphonies Would Have Reached Opus 100 If I Had But Written Them Down... Sometimes I Am So Full Of Music, And So Overflowing With Melody, That I Find It Simply Impossible To Write Down Anything.

Perhaps Only A Genius Can Truly Understand Genius.

Music - So Different From Painting - Is The Art Which We Enjoy Most In Company With Others. A Symphony, Presented In A Room With One Other Listener, Would Please Him But Little.

In Order To Compose, All You Need To Do Is Remember A Tune That Nobody Else Has Thought Of.
