More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
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
Time is the best of critics and patience the best of teachers.
Frederic Chopin
Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.
Frederic Chopin
We fell silent and all joking ceased. We gazed mutely into each other's eyes and an intense longing for the fullest avowal of the truth forced us to a confession, requiring no words whatever, or the incommensurable misfortune that weighed upon us. With tears and sobs we sealed a vow to belong to each other alone.
Frederic Chopin
The earth is suffocating... Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of the guitar.
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
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
