The Poet Sees Better Than Other Mortals.

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.

You Will Be Most Readily Cured Of Vanity Or Presumption By Studying The History Of Music, And By Hearing The Master Pieces Which Have Been Produced At Different Periods.

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

Confidence And Courage Are Special Skills To The Art ... Within The Four Walls Of His Study, The Artist Should Be Modest, Work Diligently And Conscientiously. While For The Public, He'll Show Himself Audacious, Yes Even Into Cheerful Boldness. And So A New Public's Darling Has Arisen.

I Feel So Entirely In My Element With A Full Orchestra; Even If My Mortal Enemies Were Marshalled Before Me, I Could Lead Them, Master Them, Surround Them, Or Repulse Them.
