Artists are fiery; they do not weep.

Figured Bass (Harmony) and Religion are self-contained things, one should not argue these.

The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.

The guitar is an orchestra in itself.

But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair; a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.

Men are not only together when they are with each other; even the distant and the dead live with us.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
