You just have to press the right keys and the right pedals at the right time and the music plays itself.

Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret.

Harmony is next to Godliness

I have always kept one end in view, namely ... to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.
