You know that I immerse myself in music, so to speak- that I think about it all day long- that I like experimenting- studying- reflecting.

If only the whole world could feel the power of harmony.

A bachelor, in my opinion, is only half alive.

To my eyes and ears the organ will ever be the King of Instruments.

Believe me, my sole purpose is to make as much money as possible; for after good health it is the best thing to have.

You know that I immerse myself in music, so to speak- that I think about it all day long- that I like experimenting- studying- reflecting.

I am not thoughtless but am prepared for anything and as a result can wait patiently for whatever the future holds in store, and I'll be able to endure it.
