“After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Music is ... A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

“Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

(Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over.)

[Said on his deathbed]”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

“Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.”
― Ludwig van Beethoven
