More quotes by 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
Music is my life and my life is music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Silence is very important. The silence between the notes are as important as the notes themselves.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpoints to hack post-horses.
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
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
Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I am a fool. That is well known.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I love it when an aria fits a singer as perfectly as a suit of well-tailored clothes.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The best way to learn is through the powerful force of rhythm.
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
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
Melody is the essence of music.
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
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
Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once (gleich dies zusammen). What a delight this is I cannot tell ! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing lively dream.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence . . .
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The wonders of the music of the future will be of a higher & wider scale and will introduce many sounds that the human ear is now incapable of hearing. Among these new sounds will be the glorious music of angelic chorales. As men hear these they will cease to consider Angels as figments of their imagination.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
As I love Mannheim, Mannheim loves me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Handel understands effect better than any of us -- when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
