I Too Had To Work Hard, So

Melody Is The Essence Of Music. I Compare A Good Melodist To A Fine Racer, And Counterpointists To Hack Post-horses; Therefore Be Advised, Let Well Alone And Remember The Old Italian Proverb: Chi Sa Più, Meno Sa— Who Knows Most, Knows Least.

God Is Ever Before My Eyes. I Realize His Omnipotence And I Fear His Anger; But I Also Recognize His Compassion, And His Tenderness Towards His Creatures.

Whoever Is Most Impertinent Has The Best Chance.

Even When I Can Play Europe's Most Precious Keyboard, To Have To Listen To People Who Don't Understand, Or Do Not Want To Understand, And Who Are Incapable Of Grasping My Intent, Whatever I Play, Does Surely Forfeit My Lust For Playing At All.

I Write [music] As A Sow Piddles.
