• ...Ya ves, mi querido amigo, estoy hecho de contradicciones, y he llegado a una edad muy madura sin descansar en nada positivo, sin haber calmado mi espíritu inquieto ni por la religión ni por la filosofía. Sin duda me habría vuelto loco de no ser por la música. La música es, en efecto, el más bello de todos los dones del Cielo a la humanidad que vaga en las tinieblas. Ella sola calma, ilumina y aquieta nuestras almas. No es la paja a la que se aferra el hombre que se ahoga, sino un verdadero amigo, refugio y consuelo, por cuya causa vale la pena vivir...".

So let us live on the earth while we still have life!

• No cabe duda de que incluso los mayores genios de la música han trabajado a veces sin inspiración. Este invitado (la inspiración) no siempre responde a la primera invitación. Siempre hay que trabajar, y un artista que se precie no debe cruzarse de brazos con el pretexto de que no tiene ganas. Si esperamos a que llegue la inspiración, sin esforzarnos por alcanzarla, nos volvemos fácilmente indolentes y apáticos. Debemos ser pacientes y creer que la inspiración llegará a aquellos que sepan dominar su desgana.
