The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret.

My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.
It is the special province of music to move the heart.
Old concept: Love is blind. Marriage is an eye opener. New concept: Love is not blind - it simply enables one to see things others fail to see.
