Without Craftsmanship, Inspiration Is A Mere Reed Shaken In The Wind.

If There Is Anyone Here Whom I Have Not Insulted, I Beg His Pardon.

It Is Not Hard To Compose But It Is Wonderfully Hard To Let The Superfluous Notes Fall Under The Table. . . So Many Melodies Fly About, One Must Be Careful Not To Tread On Them.

Those Are Miracles That No Merely Human Brain Can Work. The Artist Is Merely The Sound Conduct Of A Force That Dictates To Him What He Should Do.

Never Criticize The Composition Of A Royal Highness. You Never Know Who May Have Written It.
