Brahms' Variations Are Better Than Mine, But

My Sole Ambition As A Composer Is To Hurl My Javelin Into The Infinite Space Of The Future.

Mournful And Yet Grand Is The Destiny Of The Artist.

Brahms' Variations Are Better Than Mine, But Mine Were Written Before His.

I Carry A Deep Sadness Of The Heart Which Must Now And Then Break Out In Sound.

The Music Of The Gypsies Belongs In The Sphere Of Improvisation Rather Than In Any Other, Without Which It Would Have No Power To Exist.
