How lucky is the man who, like Mozart and others, goes to the tavern of an evening and writes some fresh music. For he lives while he is creating.
If we cannot write with the beauty of Mozart, let us at least try to write with his purity.
My things really are written with an appalling lack of practicality!
To follow in Beethoven's footsteps transcends one's strength.
A symphony is no joke.
It is a real pleasure to see music so bright and spontaneous expressed with corresponding ease and grace.
