“ Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny. ”
Music is the heart of life. She speaks love; without it, there is no possible good and with it everything is beautiful.
~ Franz Liszt
Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.
It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy.
The character of instrumental music... lets the emotions radiate and shine in their own character without presuming to display them as real or imaginary representations.
