Play Always As If In The Presence

When Young, One Learns His Craftsmanship, May Become A Young Master, And It Is Youth That Is Most Auspicious For Developing Certain Skills.

"we Liked It" Or "i Didn't Like It" People Say. As If It Were Nothing Higher Than To Please The People!

Thus It Is Ever In Life. The Aims We Once Pursued No Longer Satisfy Us; We Aim, We Strive, We Aspire, Until Sight Fails, And Mind And Body Find Rest In The Grave.

When You Play, Do Not Trouble Yourself As To Who Is Listening. Yet Always Play As Though A Master Listened To You.

Believe Me, Were I Ever To Accomplish Anything, It Would Be In Music, Which Has Always Attracted Me; And, Without Overestimating Myself, I Am Conscious Of Possessing A Certain Creative Faculty.
