It is dreadful when something weighs on your mind, not to have a soul to unburden yourself to. You know what I mean. I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.

More quotes by Frederic Chopin
Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of the guitar.
Frederic Chopin
Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly two.
Frederic Chopin
I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.
Frederic Chopin
Play Mozart in memory of me - and I will hear you.
Frederic Chopin
Chopin was the first piano composer who knew exactly how to make piano sound reach fullness, radiance and grandness. What to regard and what, by all means, to avoid. Chopin was keenly aware of the overtones and he did take care of them so artfully.
Frederic Chopin
Yesterday's concert was a success. I hasten to let you know. I inform your Lordship that I was not a bit nervous and played as I play when I am alone. It went well... and I had to come back and bow four times.
Frederic Chopin
I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.
Frederic Chopin
Concerts are never real music, you have to give up the idea of hearing in them all the most beautiful things of art.
Frederic Chopin
The last thing is simplicity. After having gone through all the difficulties, having played an endless number of notes, it is simplicity that matters, with all its charm. It is the final seal on Art. Anyone who strives for this to begin with will be disappointed. You cannot begin at the end.
Frederic Chopin
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
Frederic Chopin
A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
Oh, how hard it must be to die anywhere but in ones birthplace.
Frederic Chopin
Having nothing to do, I am correcting the Paris edition of Bach not only the engraver's mistakes, but also the mistakes hallowed by those who are supposed to understand Bach (I have no pretensions to understand better, but I do think that sometimes I can guess).
Frederic Chopin
To be a great composer requires immense experience... One acquires this by listening not only to other men's work, but above all to one's own!
Frederic Chopin
As something has involuntarily crept into my head through my eyes,I love to indulge it, even though it may be all wrong.
Frederic Chopin
You already know when I'm writing, so don't be surprised if it's short and dry, because I'm too hungry to write anything fat
Frederic Chopin
The earth is suffocating... Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive.
Frederic Chopin
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
Frederic Chopin
Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars . . . Beethoven embraced the universe with the power of his spirit . . . I do not climb so high. A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
As long as I have health and strength, I will gladly work all my days.
Frederic Chopin
