More quotes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music must never offend the ear, but must please the listener, or, in other words, must never cease to be music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Now there is music from which a man can learn something.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Love guards the heart from the abyss.
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
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
For I assure you, without travel, at least for people from the arts and sciences, one is a miserable creature!... 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
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence . . .
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Let us put our trust in God and console ourselves with the thought that all is well, if it is in accordance with the will of the Almighty, as He knows best what is profitable and beneficial to our temporal happiness and our eternal salvation.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Even when I can play Europe's most precious keyboard, to have to listen to people who don't understand, or do not want to understand, and who are incapable of grasping my intent, whatever I play, does surely forfeit my lust for playing at all.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
Writing music is my one and only passion and joy.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music is my life and my life is music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I love it when an aria fits a singer as perfectly as a suit of well-tailored clothes.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
She's only pretty in that she has two small black eyes and a good figure.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I write [music] as a sow piddles.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I am not thoughtless but am prepared for anything and as a result can wait patiently for whatever the future holds in store, and I'll be able to endure it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I should like to know for what reason idleness is so popular with many young people that it is impossible to dissuade them from it either by words or by chastisements.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
My fatherland has always the first claim on me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Neither rejoice nor lament prematurely for whatever may happen, all will be well if we only have health for happiness exists--merely in the imagination.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
