The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.

A Composition on the Piano

Bring me coffee before I turn into a goat!

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

The most stupendous miracle in all music.
