More quotes by 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 wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.
Frederic Chopin
Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties.
Frederic Chopin
The earth is suffocating... Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive.
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
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
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
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
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
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
I tell my piano the things I used to tell you
Frederic Chopin
I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.
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
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
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
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
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
Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly two.
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
