Mozart is the most inaccessible of the great masters.

Children are given Mozart because of the small quantity of the notes; grown-ups avoid Mozart because of the great quality of the notes.

The sonatas of Mozart are unique; they are too easy for children, and too difficult for artists.

It is not music's function to express rational necessities.

Sunshine can burn you, food can poison you, words can condemn you, pictures can insult you; music cannot punish - only bless.

Mozart is the most inaccessible of the great masters.

Have I a secret about playing the piano? It's a very simple one. I sit down on the piano stool and make myself comfortable - and I always make sure that the lid over the keyboard is open before I start to play.
