The manuscript of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5, mvt. 4 Adagietto
"... tremendous talent. Amongst the panel it was a unanimous decision that Paul was a terrific composer and deserved the commission opportunity."
- Michael Geller
"I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy... Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman... I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose."
- Ludwig van Beethoven
"Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties."
- Frédéric Chopin"If a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not bother trying to say it in music."
- Gustav Mahler
"Music is meant to be heard, not to be explained."
- Claude Debussy "I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”
- Wolfgang A. Mozart
“Music, I feel, must be emotional first and intellectual second.”
- Maurice Ravel
“Music is the poetry of the air.”
- Richter
"Without music, life would be an error.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent”
- Victor Hugo
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand... The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science... If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
- Albert Einstein
"Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without."
- Confucius
