That First Concept Is Alway The Most

It Was An Unforgettable Picture To See Chopin Sitting At The Piano Like A Clairvoyant, Lost In His Dreams; To See How His Vision Communicated Itself Through His Playing, And How, At The End Of Each Piece, He Had The Sad Habit Of Running One Finger Over The Length Of The Plaintive Keyboard, As Though To Tear Himself Forcibly Away From His Dream.

Nothing Right Can Be Accomplished In Art Without Enthusiasm.

If, While At The Piano, You Attempt To Form Little Melodies, That Is Very Well; But If They Come Into Your Mind Of Themselves, When You Are Not Practising, You May Be Still More Pleased; For The Internal Organ Of Music Is Then Roused In You. The Fingers Must Do What The Head Desires; Not The Contrary.

Confidence And Courage Are Special Skills To The Art ... Within The Four Walls Of His Study, The Artist Should Be Modest, Work Diligently And Conscientiously. While For The Public, He'll Show Himself Audacious, Yes Even Into Cheerful Boldness. And So A New Public's Darling Has Arisen.

Music Owes As Much To Bach As Religion To Its Founder.
