When You Play, Never Mind Who Listens

To Compose Is To Remember Music That Has Never Been Written.

Nature Best Teaches How To Pray, And How To Reverence All The Gifts The Almighty Has Given Us. She Is Like A Vast Outspread Handkerchief, Embroidered With God's Eternal Name, On Which We May Dry Alike Our Tears Of Sorrow And Of Joy; She Turns Weeping Into Ecstasy, And Fills Our Hearts With Speechless, Quiet Reverence And Resignation.

Mendelssohn I Consider The First Musician Of The Day; I Doff My Hat To Him As My Superior. He Plays With Everything, Especially With The Grouping Of The Instruments In The Orchestra, But With Such Ease, Delicacy And Art, With Such Mastery Throughout.

Play Always As If In The Presence Of A Master.

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