Quote

A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not but a man of superior talent (which I cannot deny myself to be without being impious) will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.

The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
People err who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to compositions as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not industriously studied through many times.
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

God is ever before my eyes. I realize his omnipotence and I fear His anger but I also recognize his compassion, and His tenderness towards His creatures.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

As I love Mannheim, Mannheim loves me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose but when it is necessary, speak—and speak in such a way that people will remember it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpointists to hack post-horses therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: Chi sa più, meno sa— Who knows most, knows least.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

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.
