I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results. The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.

I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music.

It is the special province of music to move the heart.

Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine!

The most stupendous miracle in all music.
