You Should Neither Play Bad

Art Was Not Created As A Way To Riches. Strive To Become A True Artist; All Else Will Take Care Of Itself.

Let Your Intimate Friends Be Chosen From Such As Are Better Informed Than Yourself.

Nothing Right Can Be Accomplished In Art Without Enthusiasm.

You Will Be Most Readily Cured Of Vanity Or Presumption By Studying The History Of Music, And By Hearing The Master Pieces Which Have Been Produced At Different Periods.

It Is The Curse Of Talent That, Although It Labors With Greater Steadiness And Perseverance Than Genius, It Does Not Reach Its Goal, While Genius Already On The Summit Of The Ideal, Gazes Laughingly About.
