More quotes by Frederic Chopin
I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.
Frederic Chopin
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
Frederic Chopin
My manuscripts sleep, while I cannot, for I am covered with poultices.
Frederic Chopin
If the newspapers cut me up so much that I shall not venture before the world again, I have resolved to become a house painter that would be as easy as anything else, and I should, at any rate, still be an artist!
Frederic Chopin
Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of the guitar.
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
Time is the best of critics and patience the best of teachers.
Frederic Chopin
Oh, how hard it must be to die anywhere but in ones birthplace.
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
A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
If I were still stupider than I am, I should think myself at the apex of my career yet I know how much I still lack, to reach perfection I see it the more clearly now that I live only among first-rank artists and know what each one of them lacks.
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
The three most celebrated doctors on the island have been to see me. One sniffed at what I spat, the second tapped where I spat from, and the third sounded me and listened as I spat. The first said I was dead, the second that I was dying and the third that I'm going to die.
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
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
I am not fitted to give concerts. The audience intimidates me, I feel choked by its breath, paralyzed by its curious glances, struck dumb by all those strange faces.
Frederic Chopin
Play Mozart in memory of me - and I will hear you.
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
Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties.
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
