The Earth Is Suffocating... Swear To Make

Bach Is An Astronomer, Discovering The Most Marvellous Stars. Beethoven Challenges The Universe. I Only Try To Express The Soul And The Heart Of Man.

I Haven't Heard Anything So Great For A Long Time; Beethoven Snaps His Fingers At The Whole World.

I Feel Like A Novice, Just As I Felt Before I Knew Anything Of The Keyboard. It Is Far Too Original, And I Shall End Up Not Being Able To Learn It Myself.

My Manuscripts Sleep, While I Cannot, For I Am Covered With Poultices.

All The Same It Is Being Said Everywhere That I Played Too Softly, Or Rather, Too Delicately For People Used To The Piano-pounding Of The Artists Here.
