More quotes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I too had to work hard, so as not to have to work hard any longer.
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
I never lie down at night without reflecting that, young as I am, I may not live to see another day.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
To win applause one must write stuff so simple that a coachman might sing it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
My great grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations? What is to occur we do not know still in so far we do! what God wills!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I am never happier than when I have something to compose, for that, after all, is my sole delight and passion
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
It is when I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer.....that ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not, nor can I force them.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet. I cannot arrange the parts of speech with such art as to produce effects of light and shade, for I am no painter. Even by signs and gestures I cannot express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means of sounds, for I am a musician.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
She's only pretty in that she has two small black eyes and a good figure.
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
It is a mistake to think that the price of my art has become easy to me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I write [music] as a sow piddles.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Patience and tranquility of mind contribute more to cure our distempers as the whole art of medicine
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
