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

More quotes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If Germany, my beloved fatherland, of whom you know I am proud, will not accept me, then must I, in the name of God, again make France or England richer by one capable German - and to the shame of the German nation.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
To win applause one must write stuff so simple that a coachman might sing it.
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
Music is my life and my life is music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
True perfection in all things is no longer known or prized - you must write music that is either so simple a coachman could sing it, or so unintelligble that audiences like it simply because no sane person could understand it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
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
I am a fool. That is well known.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
To my eyes and ears the organ will ever be the King of Instruments.
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
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
It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
To talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
When I feel well and in a good humour, or when I am taking a drive or walking after a good meal, or in the night when I cannot sleep, thoughts crowd into my mind as easily as my mind might wish.
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
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
Love guards the heart from the abyss.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
An astonishing number of kisses are flying about! I see a whole crowd of them. Ha! Ha! I have just caught three - They are delicious... I kiss you millions of times.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I never lie down at night without reflecting that, young as I am, I may not live to see another day.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
