More quotes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Image
The whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished in my mind so that I can survey it at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once. What delight this is I cannot tell!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
One must not make oneself cheap here - that is a cardinal point - or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A man of mediocre talents always remains mediocre, may he travel or not - but a man of superior talents, which I cannot deny myself to have without being blasphemous, becomes - bad, if he always stays in the same place.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
I really do not aim at any originality.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

What's even worse than a flute? - Two flutes!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
I must give you a piece of intelligence that you perhaps already know, namely that the ungodly arch-villain Voltaire has died miserably like a dog, just like a brute. That is his reward!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Believe me, my sole purpose is to make as much money as possible for after good health it is the best thing to have.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
You know that I immerse myself in music, so to speak- that I think about it all day long- that I like experimenting- studying- reflecting.
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.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
God first, then papa.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Music, in even the most terrible situations, must never offend the ear but always remain a source of pleasure.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

I do not hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them gleich alles zusammen - at the same time all together.
