Beethoven Can Write Music, Thank God, But

Music Is Mediator Between Spiritual And Sensual Life.

There Is No Greater Pleasure For Me Than To Practice And Exhibit My Art.

Don't Only Practise Your Art, But Force Your Way Into Its Secrets.

You Ask Me Where I Get My Ideas. That I Cannot Tell You With Certainty. They Come Unsummoned, Directly, Indirectly - I Could Seize Them With My Hands - Out In The Open Air, In The Woods, While Walking, In The Silence Of The Nights, At Dawn, Excited By Moods Which Are Translated By The Poet Into Words, By Me Into Tones That Sound And Roar And Storm About Me Till I Have Set Them Down In Notes.

Do You Think I Give A Damn About Your And Your Pathetic Violin?
