Music Is A Kind Of Harmonious Language.

One Can't Judge Wagner's Opera Lohengrin After A First Hearing, And I Certainly Don't Intend To Hear It A Second Time.

Wagner Has Lovely Moments But Awful Quarters Of An Hour.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Is The Only Musician Who Had As Much Knowledge Asgenius, And As Much Genius As Knowledge.

The Language Of Music Is Common To All Generations And Nations; It Is Understood By Everybody, Since It Is Understood With The Heart.

Nothing Primes Inspiration More Than Necessity, Whether It Be The Presence Of A Copyist Waiting For Your Work Or The Prodding Of An Impresario Tearing His Hair.
