The Essential Conditions Of Everything You Do Must Be Choice, Love, Passion.

False Notes Can Be Forgiven, False Music Cannot.

It Is Easier To Analyze A Work In Its Form, In Its Evolution, Than Simply To Love It With All The Living Forces Of Our Heart. It Is Easier To Define Its Peculiarities And Its Details Than To Draw Out Of It Its Emotion, Its Thought.

It Is Nothing To Succeed If One Has Not Taken Great Trouble, And It Is Nothing To Fail If One Has Done The Best One Could.
