The flame that is naturally clear always gives the most light and heat. If I could blend my talent for poetry and music into one, the light would burn still clearer, and I might go far.

More quotes by Robert Schumann
Does it not seem as if Mozart's works become fresher and fresher the oftener we hear them?
Robert Schumann
Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.
Robert Schumann
I was a God-fearing child, innocent and physically attractive.
Robert Schumann
You will be most readily cured of vanity or presumption by studying the history of music, and by hearing the master pieces which have been produced at different periods.
Robert Schumann
We shouldn't repeat the same for ages on end, but look into the new as well.
Robert Schumann
My heart pounds sickeningly and I turn pale... I often feel as if I were dead... I seem to be losing my mind.
Robert Schumann
Talent works, genius creates.
Robert Schumann
For me, music is always the language which permits one to converse with the Beyond.
Robert Schumann
Confidence and courage are special skills to the art ... Within the four walls of his study, the artist should be modest, work diligently and conscientiously. While for the public, he'll show himself audacious, yes even into cheerful boldness. And so a new public's darling has arisen.
Robert Schumann
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.
Robert Schumann
From a pound of iron, that costs little, a thousand watch-springs can be made, whose value becomes prodigious. The pound you have received from the Lord,--use it faithfully.
Robert Schumann
It was an unforgettable picture to see Chopin sitting at the piano like a clairvoyant, lost in his dreams to see how his vision communicated itself through his playing, and how, at the end of each piece, he had the sad habit of running one finger over the length of the plaintive keyboard, as though to tear himself forcibly away from his dream.
Robert Schumann
When you play, do not trouble yourself as to who is listening. Yet always play as though a master listened to you.
Robert Schumann
The poet sees better than other mortals. I do not see things as they are, but according to my own subjective impression, and this makes life easier and simpler.
Robert Schumann
When young, one learns his craftsmanship, may become a young master, and it is youth that is most auspicious for developing certain skills.
Robert Schumann
Can that which has cost the artist days, weeks, months and even years of reflection be understood in a flash by a dilettante?
Robert Schumann
You write to become immortal, or because the piano happens to be open, or you've looked into a pair of beautiful eyes.
Robert Schumann
Perhaps only a Genius can truly understand Genius.
Robert Schumann
Only when the form grows clear to you, will the spirit become so too.
Robert Schumann
We liked it or I didn't like it people say. As if it were nothing higher than to please the people!
Robert Schumann
