More quotes by 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
Time is the best of critics and patience the best of teachers.
Frederic Chopin
I feel like a novice, just as I felt before I knew anything of the keyboard. It is far too original, and I shall end up not being able to learn it myself.
Frederic Chopin
Bach is an astronomer, discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the soul and the heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.
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 Official Bulletin declared that the Poles should be as proud of me as the Germans are of Mozart obvious nonsense.
Frederic Chopin
Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of the guitar.
Frederic Chopin
When one does a thing, it appears good, otherwise one would not write it. Only later comes reflection, and one discards or accepts the thing. Time is the best censor, and patience a most excellent teacher.
Frederic Chopin
Hats off, gentlemen - a genius! If the mighty autocrat of the north knew what a dangerous enemy threatened him in Chopin's works in the simple tunes of his mazurkas, he would forbid this music. Chopin's works are canons buried in flowers.
Frederic Chopin
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
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
Man is never always happy, and very often only a brief period of happiness is granted him in this world so why escape from this dream which cannot last long?
Frederic Chopin
All the same it is being said everywhere that I played too softly, or rather, too delicately for people used to the piano-pounding of the artists here.
Frederic Chopin
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.
Frederic Chopin
The earth is suffocating... Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive.
Frederic Chopin
I tell my piano the things I used to tell you
Frederic Chopin
Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly two.
Frederic Chopin
A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
Play Mozart in memory of me - and I will hear you.
Frederic Chopin
