Melody is the essence of music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
The wonders of the music of the future will be of a higher & wider scale and will introduce many sounds that the human ear is now incapable of hearing. Among these new sounds will be the glorious music of angelic chorales. As men hear these they will cease to consider Angels as figments of their imagination.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

I choose such notes that love one another.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

God first, then papa.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
To every good friend I send my greet feet addio nitwit. Love true true true until the grave, if I live that long and do behave.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Love guards the heart from the abyss.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Our riches, being in our brains, die with us... Unless of course someone chops off our head, in which case, we won't need them anyway.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
I really do not aim at any originality.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
When I am at peace with myself . . . then thoughts flow into me most easily and at their best. Where they come from and how - that I cannot say . . . I'd be willing to work forever and forever if I were permitted to write only such music as I want to write and can write - which I myself think good.

My dear sister! I’m amazed to discover that you can compose so delightfully. In a word, your Lied is beautiful. You must compose more often.

Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpoints to hack post-horses.
