We May Be Sure That A Genius

Mendelssohn I Consider The First Musician Of The Day; I Doff My Hat To Him As My Superior. He Plays With Everything, Especially With The Grouping Of The Instruments In The Orchestra, But With Such Ease, Delicacy And Art, With Such Mastery Throughout.

I Sometimes Lack Confidence In Public, Although I Am Proud Enough Inwardly.

We May Be Sure That A Genius Like Mozart, Were He Born Today, Would Write Concertos Like Chopin And Not Like Mozart.

Can That Which Has Cost The Artist Days, Weeks, Months And Even Years Of Reflection Be Understood In A Flash By A Dilettante?

When You Play, Never Mind Who Listens To You.
