Can That Which Has Cost The Artist

I Am So Fresh In Soul And Spirit That Life Gushes And Bubbles Around Me In A Thousand Springs.

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.

People Compose For Many Reasons, To Become Immortal; Because The Piano Happens To Be Open; Because They Want To Become A Millionaire; Because Of The Praise Of Friends; Because They Have Looked Into A Pair Of Beautiful Eyes; Or For No Reason Whatsoever.

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

A Fiery, Good Beginner Always Stands Higher Than A Master In Mediocrity.
