Play Always As If In The Presence

We Shouldn't Repeat The Same For Ages On End, But Look Into The New As Well.

You Should Neither Play Bad Compositions, Nor, Unless Compelled, Listen To Them.

To Send Light Into The Darkness Of Men's Hearts - Such Is The Duty Of The Artist.

The Principal Mark Of Genius Is Not Perfection, But Originality.

If, While At The Piano, You Attempt To Form Little Melodies, That Is Very Well; But If They Come Into Your Mind Of Themselves, When You Are Not Practising, You May Be Still More Pleased; For The Internal Organ Of Music Is Then Roused In You. The Fingers Must Do What The Head Desires; Not The Contrary.
