More quotes by 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
I feel so entirely in my element with a full orchestra even if my mortal enemies were marshalled before me, I could lead them, master them, surround them, or repulse them.
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
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
Perhaps only a Genius can truly understand Genius.
Robert Schumann
Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art.
Robert Schumann
Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.
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
My indifference to money and my spendthrift ways are disgraceful. You have no idea how reckless I am how often I practically throw money out of the window. I am always making good resolutions, but the next minute I forget and give the waiter eightpence.
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
Without enthusiasm nothing great can be effected in art.
Robert Schumann
The aesthetic principle is the same in every art, only the material differs.
Robert Schumann
Talent works, genius creates.
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
Does it not seem as if Mozart's works become fresher and fresher the oftener we hear them?
Robert Schumann
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Robert Schumann
I was a God-fearing child, innocent and physically attractive.
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 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
