More quotes by Robert Schumann
We have learned to express the more delicate nuances of feeling by penetrating more deeply into the mysteries of harmony.
Robert Schumann
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.
Robert Schumann
Mendelssohn I consider the first musician of the day I doff my hat to him as my superior. He plays with everything, especially with the grouping of the instruments in the orchestra, but with such ease, delicacy and art, with such mastery throughout.
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
Does it not seem as if Mozart's works become fresher and fresher the oftener we hear them?
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
Perhaps only a Genius can truly understand Genius.
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
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
For me Wagner is impossible... he talks without ever stopping. One can't just talk all the time.
Robert Schumann
The aesthetic principle is the same in every art, only the material differs.
Robert Schumann
Send light to the dark hearts of men, that is the duty the artist.
Robert Schumann
My symphonies would have reached Opus 100 if I had but written them down... Sometimes I am so full of music, and so overflowing with melody, that I find it simply impossible to write down anything.
Robert Schumann
For me, music is always the language which permits one to converse with the Beyond.
Robert Schumann
It is the curse of talent that, although it labors with greater steadiness and perseverance than genius, it does not reach its goal, while genius already on the summit of the ideal, gazes laughingly about.
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
Art was not created as a way to riches. Strive to become a true artist all else will take care of itself.
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
We liked it or I didn't like it people say. As if it were nothing higher than to please the people!
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
