Music is nourishment, and a comforting elixir. Music multiplies the beauty of life and all its values.

Let us take our children seriously! Everything else follows from this...only the best is good enough for a child.

Often a single experience will open the young soul to music for a whole lifetime

It is our firm conviction that mankind will live the happier when it has learned to live with music more worthily. Whoever works to promote this end, in one way or another, has not lived in vain.

There is no complete spiritual life without music, for the human soul has regions which can be illuminated only by music.

The laws of morals and the laws of music are the same

We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book: in silence, but imagining the sound.
