Bring me coffee before I turn into a goat!
A Composition on the Piano
If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord.
I have always kept one end in view, namely ... to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.
Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat.
Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret.
