| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life."
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." "What I have in my heart and soul must find a way out. That’s the reason for music." "I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly not bend and crush me completely." "Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?" |
