More quotes by Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The great familiar musical works are always greeted by the audiences as ever welcome and beloved friends.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Times change, people change, thought and feeling take new shapes, put on fresh garments, sons bow their heads unwillingly to that which enraptured their fathers.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The ultimate necessity is the summoning of the mind and will to do their duty.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
I am nothing! If you could know the dream of what I would like to be, you would realize how little I have accomplished.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
I cannot imagine a genuinely happy home without music in it.
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
I established a certain standard of behavior, that, during my playing, there must be no talking.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Fatherland before everything, art afterward.
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
I loved your country [America] before I knew it.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Art must be a slow and normal evolution.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
When one is an artist, what else can he be?
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Art without technique is invertebrate, shapeless, characterless.
Ignacy Jan Paderewski
The Pole listening to Chopin listens to the voice of his whole race.
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
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
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
America, the country of my heart, my second home.
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
Change follows change in us, almost without transition we pass from blissful rapture to sobbing woe a single step divides our sublimest ecstasies from the darkest depth of spiritual despondency.
