If Beethoven Is A Prodigy Of Man,

How Wonderful Opera Would Be If There Were No Singers.

Wagner Has Lovely Moments But Awful Quarters Of An Hour.

Nothing Primes Inspiration More Than Necessity.

Answer Them Critics With Silence And Indifference. It Works Better, I Assure You, Than Anger And Argument. . . .

The Language Of Music Is Common To All Generations And Nations; It Is Understood By Everybody, Since It Is Understood With The Heart.
