More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape. I pursue it. Breathless I catch up with it. It flies again, it disappears, it plunges into a chaos of diverse emotions. I catch it again, I seize it, I embrace it with delight... I multiply it by modulations, and at last I triumph in the first theme. There is the whole symphony.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no greater pleasure for me than to practice and exhibit my art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is my belief one should not belittle the artist while, however glorious his fame may seem, his time on Mount Olympus as an honourable guest of Zeus is short. It's a pity, but all too eager will the common folk drag him from this etherial heights to the low and trodden earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Let your deafness no longer be a secret - even in art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.
Ludwig van Beethoven
The guitar is an orchestra in itself.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Then let us all do what is right, strive with all our might toward the unattainable, develop as fully as we can the gifts God has given us, and never stop learning
Ludwig van Beethoven
You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.
Ludwig van Beethoven
My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Wherever you are, I am there also.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Yet it was impossible for me to say to people, 'Speak louder, shout, for I am deaf.' Ah, how could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense which ought to be more perfect in me than others, a sense which I once possessed in the highest perfection, a perfection such as few in my profession enjoy or ever have enjoyed.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I liked your opera. I think I will set it to music.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Never forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Richard Wagner commenting on the music of Ludvig Van Beethoven: He was a Titan, wrestling with the Gods.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Handel, to him I bow the knee.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend virtue to your children, that alone - not wealth - can give happiness. It upholds in adversity and the thought of it and my art prevents me from putting an end to my life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
