I am attracted only to music which I consider to be better than it can be performed.
Sunshine can burn you, food can poison you, words can condemn you, pictures can insult you; music cannot punish - only bless.
Children are given Mozart because of the small quantity of the notes; grown-ups avoid Mozart because of the great quality of the notes.
It is not music's function to express rational necessities.
I practice in my head.
Mozart is the most inaccessible of the great masters.
