I Write [music] As A Sow Piddles.

Silence Is Very Important. The Silence Between The Notes Are As Important As The Notes Themselves.

Nor Do I Hear In My Imagination The Parts Successively, But I Hear Them, As It Were, All At Once (gleich Dies Zusammen). What A Delight This Is I Cannot Tell ! All This Inventing, This Producing, Takes Place In A Pleasing Lively Dream.

I Love It When An Aria Fits A Singer As Perfectly As A Suit Of Well-tailored Clothes.

Music Is My Life And My Life Is Music.

To My Eyes And Ears The Organ Will Ever Be The King Of Instruments.
