I practice in my head.
I am attracted only to music which I consider to be better than it can be performed.
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.
The sonatas of Mozart are unique; they are too easy for children, and too difficult for artists.
