Play well, or play badly, but play truly.

Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art.

Fear your admirers! Learn in time to hear, understand, and love the cruel truth about yourselves!

The direct effect on our mind is achieved by the words, the text, the thought, which arouse consideration. Our will is directly affected by the super-objective, by other objectives, by a through line of action. Our feelings are directly worked upon by tempo-rhythm.
