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
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
Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
My fatherland has always the first claim on me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Now there is music from which a man can learn something.
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
Write to me and don't be so lazy. Otherwise I shall have to give you a thrashing. What fun! I'll break your head.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music is my life and my life is music. Anyone who does not understand this is not worthy of God.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Believe me, my sole purpose is to make as much money as possible for after good health it is the best thing to have.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence . . .
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music is my life and my life is music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
