Music Is Mediator Between Spiritual And Sensual

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

He Who Understand My Music Will Remain Free From The Miseries That The Other Men Are Dragging With Them .

I Wish You Music To Help With The Burdens Of Life ,and To Help You Release Your Happiness To Others.

Don't Only Practice Your Art, But Force Your Way Into Its Secrets; Art Deserves That, For It And Knowledge Can Raise Man To The Divine.

I Carry My Thoughts About With Me For A Long Time... Before Writing Them Down... Once I Have Grasped A Theme. I Shall Not Forget It Even Years Later. I Change Many Things, Discard Others, And Try Again And Again Until I Am Satisfied; Then, In My Head... [the Work] Rises, It Grows, I Hear And See The Image N Front Of Me From Every Angle... And Only The Labor Of Writing It Down Remains... I Turn My Ideas Into Tones That Resound, Roar, And Rage Until At Last They Stand Before Me In The Form Of Notes.
