Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

Music is ... A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.

I despise a world which does not feel that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy

To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
