As
death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal
of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such
close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind,
that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is
indeed very soothing and consoling! And 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
I
pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply
follow my own feelings. 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
Melody
is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine
racer, and counterpoints to hack post-horses. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
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
subject enlarges itself, becomes methodized and defined, and
the whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished
in my mind, so that I can survey it, like a fine picture or
a beautiful statue, at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination
the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were,
all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this
producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Neither
a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together
go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul
of genius. 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 Letter to father from Vienna, complaining
of coarse linen shirts Mozart was forced to wear
Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart: Austrian composer. Born 1756. Died 1791.
