More quotes by 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
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
Without enthusiasm nothing great can be effected in art.
Robert Schumann
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.
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
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.
Robert Schumann
Art was not created as a way to riches. Strive to become a true artist all else will take care of itself.
Robert Schumann
Remember, there are more people in the world than yourself. Be modest! You have not yet invented nor thought anything which others have not thought or invented before. And should you really have done so, consider it a gift of heaven which you are to share with others.
Robert Schumann
Talent works, genius creates.
Robert Schumann
Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.
Robert Schumann
That first concept is alway the most naturally and best. The mind errs, the emotion never.
Robert Schumann
For me Wagner is impossible... he talks without ever stopping. One can't just talk all the time.
Robert Schumann
We have learned to express the more delicate nuances of feeling by penetrating more deeply into the mysteries of harmony.
Robert Schumann
People compose for many reasons, to become immortal because the piano happens to be open because they want to become a millionaire because of the praise of friends because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes or for no reason whatsoever.
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
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
I was a God-fearing child, innocent and physically attractive.
Robert Schumann
Send light to the dark hearts of men, that is the duty the artist.
Robert Schumann
Music induces nightingales to sing, pug dogs to yelp.
Robert Schumann
Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.
Robert Schumann
