Art demands of us that we shall not stand still.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
such incidents brought me to the verge of despair, but little more and I would have put an end to my life - only art it was that withheld me, - ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had produced all that I had felt called upon to produce.

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.

Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived... I would uncover my head and kneel down on his tomb.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
The world is a king, and like a king, desires flattery in return for favor but true art is selfish and perverse — it will not submit to the mold of flattery.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
I liked your opera. I think I will set it to music.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.

My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.
