More quotes by Frederic Chopin
A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.
Frederic Chopin
I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.
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
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
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
After a rest in Edinburgh, where, passing a music-shop, I heard some blind man playing a mazurka of mine.
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
I could express my feelings more easily if they could be put into the notes of music, but as the very best concert would not cover my affection for you, dear daddy, I must use the simple words of my heart, to lay before you my utmost gratitude and filial affection
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
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
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
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
My manuscripts sleep, while I cannot, for I am covered with poultices.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
