If Beethoven Is A Prodigy Of Man,

Wagner Has Lovely Moments But Awful Quarters Of An Hour.

Answer Them Critics With Silence And Indifference. It Works Better, I Assure You, Than Anger And Argument. . . .

One Can't Judge Wagner's Opera Lohengrin After A First Hearing, And I Certainly Don't Intend To Hear It A Second Time.

The Language Of Music Is Common To All Generations And Nations; It Is Understood By Everybody, Since It Is Understood With The Heart.

If Beethoven Is A Prodigy Of Man, Bach Is A Miracle Of God.
