Melody Is The Essence Of Music.

I Will Gladly Give Lessons As A Favor, Particularly When I See That My Student Has Talent, Inclination, And Anxiety To Learn; But To Be Obliged To Go To A House At A Certain Hour, Or To Have To Wait At Home For A Pupil, Is What I Cannot Do, No Matter How Much Money It May Bring Me In. . . I Am A Composer And Was Born To Be A Kapellmeister. I Neither Can Nor Ought To Bury The Talent For Composition With Which God In His Goodness Has So Richly Endowed Me. . .

Music, In Even The Most Terrible Situations, Must Never Offend The Ear But Always Remain A Source Of Pleasure.

To Every Good Friend I Send My Greet Feet; Addio Nitwit. Love True True True Until The Grave, If I Live That Long And Do Behave.

The Wonders Of The Music Of The Future Will Be Of A Higher & Wider Scale And Will Introduce Many Sounds That The Human Ear Is Now Incapable Of Hearing. Among These New Sounds Will Be The Glorious Music Of Angelic Chorales. As Men Hear These They Will Cease To Consider Angels As Figments Of Their Imagination.

All I Insist On, And Nothing Else, Is That You Should Show The Whole World That You Are Not Afraid. Be Silent, If You Choose; But When It Is Necessary, Speak—and Speak In Such A Way That People Will Remember It.
