Frédéric Chopin
“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art. When one does a thing, it appears good, otherwise one would not write it. Only later comes reflection, and one discards or accepts the thing.”
Frédéric Chopin

Robert Schumann
“Play always as if in the presence of a master.”
Robert Schumann
