More quotes by Ignacy Jan Paderewski
When one is an artist, what else can he be?
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The Pole listening to Chopin listens to the voice of his whole race.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Fatherland before everything, art afterward.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
I cannot imagine a genuinely happy home without music in it.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The genius is the man who has genuine and deep human relations with others, who does not cut himself off in the search for originality, but who realizes the value of artistic tradition.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Music is the only art that actually lives.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
True originality has its foundations in the soul, not in the mind, and when there is an effort to create something different it is usually a failure. Beethoven or Schumann or Chopin did not try to be original. They were original.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
If I do not practice one day I know it. If I do not practice the next, the orchestra knows it if I do not practice the third day, the whole world knows it.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
I owe my sucess in one per cent to my talent, in ten per cent to luck, and in ninety per cent to hard word. Work, work, and more work is the secret to success.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
If I miss one day of practice, I notice it. If I miss two days, the critics notice it. If I miss three days, the audience notices it.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Art without technique is invertebrate, shapeless, characterless.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Music expresses first of all sadness rather than joy.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
America, the country of my heart, my second home.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Before I was a genius I was a drudge.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The ultimate necessity is the summoning of the mind and will to do their duty.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The culture of any country is gauged first by its progress in art.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Musical expression is never primarily national, but is personal and individual rather. It is so deep, so profound, that it goes beyond and below nationality and gives voice to the most private feeling. In music there is never exact heredity. Each man is an individual.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Just as surely as every new language mastered opens up a new world, so knowledge of a Beethoven, a Chopin, or a Schumann opens up a new world in spiritual beauty and thought.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
I established a certain standard of behavior, that, during my playing, there must be no talking.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Art must be a slow and normal evolution.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
